Morphology

bare-ass = bare + ass (transparent) = bare + ass

Meaning is directly inferable from the combination of 'bare' and 'ass' (colloquial: naked butt), so learners who know the components will grasp it.

Etymology

Bare-ass puts together bare ('naked'), as in barefoot, and the rude word ass used to make the idea stronger. So bare-ass means totally without clothes, or completely naked.
