disrobe
Remove one's garments
To disrobe is to remove one's clothing, or to remove clothing from someone else.
The word carries a formal or literary tone that distinguishes it from simply undressing: The queen disrobed before her attendants.
It appears in medical and legal contexts where clinical distance is preferred: The patient was asked to disrobe for the examination.
