Desnudas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective desnudo, meaning naked or unclothed. It is used to describe entities without clothing and commonly modifies feminine plural nouns, as in mujeres desnudas, or appears in headlines and captions to indicate nudity. The term can also function as a noun in contexts where the implied noun is understood, such as in media or art discussions.

Origin and grammar: Desnudo derives from Latin nudus. The form desnudas agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies; the related forms are desnudo (masculine singular), desnuda (feminine singular), and desnudos (masculine plural).

Usage and connotations: In neutral descriptive writing, desnudas serves as a straightforward descriptor. In journalism, photography, or art criticism, it may appear in titles or descriptions of nude figures. The term carries different connotations depending on context and presentation, and responsible use involves distinguishing between artistic depiction, sexuality, and the rights and consent of individuals depicted.
