Definition of nakedly

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

adv

  1. In a naked manner; without concealing anything; blatantly or openly.
    “So while Ralph generally seems to inhabit a different, more glorious and joyful universe than everyone else here his yearning and heartbreak are eminently relateable. Ralph sometimes appears to be a magically demented sprite who has assumed the form of a boy, but he’s never been more poignantly, nakedly, movingly human than he is here.”
    “It was another chapter in a dismal saga of Nimbyist urban mismanagement that is crushing American cities. Not-in-my-backyardism is a bipartisan sentiment, but because the largest American cities are populated and run by Democrats — many in states under complete Democratic control — this sort of nakedly exclusionary urban restrictionism is a particular shame of the left.”
    “The past 14 years have shown that decisions on such fundamental issues as fuel duty and fares are taken within the Treasury for nakedly short-term political reasons, with no regard for environmental or transport objectives.”
