ungloved
Without hand covering
Ungloved describes a hand without a glove covering it: She touched his face with her ungloved hand.
The word appears in contexts where gloves would normally be worn—cold weather, medical procedures, formal occasions.
An ungloved handshake during a pandemic signals either intimacy or carelessness.
