STRONGS G1131:
γυμνός,
-ή,
-όν, in the
Sept. for
עֵירֹם. and
עָרום,
naked, not covered;
1. properly,
a. unclad, without clothing:
Mark 14:52;
Revelation 3:17;
Revelation 16:15;
Revelation 17:16;
τὸ γυμνόν, substantively,
the naked body:
ἐπὶ γυμνοῦ,
Mark 14:51; cf. Fritzsche at the passage; (
τὰ γυμνά, Lucian, nav. 33).
b. ill-clad:
Matthew 25:36,
38,
43;
Acts 19:16 (with torn garments);
James 2:15; (
Job 22:6;
Job 24:10;
Job 26:6).
c. clad in the undergarment only (the outer garment or cloak being laid aside):
John 21:7; (
1 Samuel 19:24;
Isaiah 20:2; Hesiod Works, 389; often in Attic; so
nudus, Vergil Georg. 1, 299).

ἡ ψυχὴ γυμνὴ τοῦ σώματος).
2. metaphorically,
a. naked,
i. e. open, laid bare:

γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ,

b. only, mere, bare, equivalent to
ψιλός (like Latin
vudus):
γυμνὸς κόκκος, mere grain, not the plant itself,
1 Corinthians 15:37 (Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 24, 5
σπέρματα πεσόντα εἰς τὴν γῆν ξηρὰ καὶ γυμνὰ διαλύεται).
