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.
(かわ)()いで()べる
I peel off the skin and eat it.
I put up new wallpaper after stripping off the old one.
The thief stripped the victim of their clothes and fled.

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

Similar words

  • () — to peel (gentler; fruit, vegetables)
  • ()がす — to peel off, to remove (stickers, labels, tape)
