How to Write 倮 (luǒ) — Meaning “naked; bare”

Picture a person (亻) standing naked next to a fruit tree (果). The fruit has lost its peel, just like the person has no clothes. This vivid image ties the parts to the meaning of 'naked'.

Write the left radical 亻 tall and narrow first, then the right part 果 with a squarish 田 on top and 木 below. A common mistake is making the 田 too wide or the 木's strokes too curved—keep everything balanced and compact.

佩 also has 亻 but adds 凡巾, meaning 'to wear' something, which is the opposite of 倮's 'naked'. 佬 has 亻 with 老 and means 'adult man', with no connection to nudity. Visually, 佩 contains a cloth-like 巾, while 倮 contains 果 (fruit).

倮 is rare in everyday speech, mostly appearing in classical Chinese or biological terms like 倮虫 (hairless animals). It may also be found in literary descriptions of nudity. You are unlikely to hear it in casual conversation.

Common words containing 倮 include: 倮虫 (luǒ chóng) — (ancient biology) hairless animals (including humans); 倮体 (luǒ tǐ) — naked; nude; 赤倮倮 (chì luǒ luǒ) — Stark naked.
