People who practice nudism, believing in or advocating for the benefits of social nudity in appropriate settings. Members of naturist communities or movements.
From Latin nudus meaning 'naked, bare' + -ist suffix indicating a practitioner. The modern nudist movement began in early 20th century Germany as part of broader health and naturalism movements.
The nudist movement originally emerged as a health and social reform movement, promoting the benefits of sunlight, fresh air, and body acceptance. Many nudist communities developed their own etiquette and social norms that often emphasize respect and non-sexualization of the human body.
