disrobes

Takes clothes off

Disrobes means 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": She disrobed before stepping into the bath.

It appears frequently in medical contexts where patients must undress for examination, and in descriptions of ceremonial or intimate moments.
