stark-naked (comparative more stark-naked, superlative most stark-naked)
Middle English stert naked (steort nakt, sternaked, star naked); the first element is from 古期英語 steort (“tail”). The change from "start-naked" to "stark-naked" was most likelily due to a misinterpretation of the phrase as being a way of saying "starkly naked" ("strongly naked, harshly naked").
