to remove covering or clothing; to take away
from Old English strīepan 'to plunder'
action of removing or uncovering
While 'strip' as a verb (remove clothing) predates gendered exploitation, the noun 'strip' in nightlife is historically feminized through 'strip club' language. The term carries gendered labor and exploitation associations.
When discussing labor, specify context (e.g., 'exotic dancing' or 'striptease performer'). Avoid 'strip' as a euphemism for feminized performance work.
