bare hand
Skin without covering
A bare hand is one without covering—no glove, mitten, or protective gear: He caught the ball with his bare hands.
The phrase emphasizes direct physical contact, often implying vulnerability or boldness: She pulled the hot pan off the stove with her bare hands.
To do something barehanded is to do it without tools or weapons.
