verb unadorns · unadorning · unadorned

To add a feature or embellishment that makes something uglier; uglify. No ugly monument of their ancestors disfigures the church walls, no hideous brick box unadorns the country churchyard, and a plain stone, perhaps moss grown, is all the record of their fathers they can show.
To remove the adornments from. Yet, I have long tried to unadorn Myself for you. I would toss all the trinkets And lavalieres into a box to escape Worshiping.
