bald
Lacking scalp coverage
Bald means lacking hair, especially on the head.
The word extends to anything stripped of its usual covering: a bald tire has worn treads, a bald eagle has a white-feathered head that looks bare from a distance.
Figuratively, bald describes something plain and unadorned: a bald lie, a bald statement of fact—direct, with nothing to soften it.
