clad
Not at all bare
Clad means clothed or covered, typically used with a modifier describing the covering: armor-clad knights, ivy-clad walls, scantily clad.
The word is the past participle of an archaic verb clothe.
In technical contexts, cladding is a protective outer layer bonded to another material: steel-clad, copper-clad wire.
