bare has 24 distinct synonyms spread across 11 of its 13 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is covered.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
lacking its natural or customary covering
“a bare hill”
lacking embellishment or ornamentation
“a plain hair style”
