Etymology
'bare' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'bær', where the root meant 'naked' or 'uncovered'.
'bare' changed from the Old English word 'bær' and is related to other Germanic words (for example Old High German 'bar'), eventually becoming the modern English word 'bare'.
Initially, it meant 'naked' or 'uncovered', and over time it broadened to mean 'without covering, plain, or minimal' in modern usage.
