The act of removing shoes; the state of being barefoot or unshod.
From excalceate + -ion. Comes from Latin ex- (away) + calceation (the act of putting on shoes), literally the reverse action.
In medieval monasteries, excalceation was sometimes part of punishment—you'd lose your shoes, making your station in life physically obvious to everyone around you.
