To disrobe is to take your clothes off. It is a formal, slightly old or ceremonial word. Doctors may ask a patient to disrobe; actors disrobe between scenes; in stories, someone disrobes before a bath or a ritual. Ordinary English is get undressed or take off your clothes. Though actually, disrobe usually means the whole change — robe or clothes coming off — not one sock. It is not a crude word; it is a dressy word for a private act, which is why it can sound either medical or a little theatrical.
寬衣、脫下衣袍(書面/醫療/儀式用語;日常多說「換衣服、脫衣服」)
組成dis- (off, away) + robe (the garment). Old French had desrober in the same “take the clothes off” sense.
