unrobe

Remove one's clothing

To unrobe is to remove clothing, especially ceremonial or formal garments.

The word carries a deliberate, unhurried quality—a priest unrobes after mass, a judge unrobes after court.

It can also mean to undress another person: He unrobed her slowly.

More formal and less clinical than undress.
