The quality or state of being bare; the condition of being uncovered, empty, or lacking something.
From Old English 'bare' plus the suffix '-ness,' which creates abstract nouns describing qualities or states; this construction has been in use for over a thousand years.
The word 'bareness' is often used poetically to describe emotional emptiness or stark environments—it's not just about missing clothes, but about missing anything that would make something feel full or complete.
