Nákedly. adv.

1. Without covering.

2. Simply; merely; barely; in the abstract.

   Though several single letters nakedly considered, are found to be articulations only of spirit or breath, and not of breath vocalized; yet there is that property in all letters of aptness, to be conjoined in syllables. Holder.

3. Discoverably; evidently.

   So blinds the sharpest counsels of the wise
   This overshadowing Providence on high,
   And dazzleth all their clearest sighted eyes,
   That they see not how nakedly they lie. Daniel Civil War.
