1. to strip off, to peel off, to tear off
To forcefully remove something that covers or clings to a surface — such as skin, bark, clothing, paint, or a mask. Implies a rougher, more forceful action than simply peeling.

I peel off the skin and eat it.

Conjugates as a godan verb: 剥(は)がない, 剥(は)いで, 剥(は)いだ. The action is more forceful and rough compared to 剥(む)く (to peel gently, as with fruit).
