Usage Note
Desnudar is a regular -ar verb meaning to remove someone else's clothing; the reflexive desnudarse means 'to undress oneself.' It can be used figuratively — desnudar la verdad ('to lay bare the truth') — though that register is literary. The related adjective desnudo ('naked') is far more frequent in everyday use.
Examples
"Tuvo que desnudar al bebé para bañarlo."
Natural Translation
She had to undress the baby to bathe him.
