覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
dress を知っていれば覚えやすい語です。dress は「服を着せる／身支度する」、そこに un- が付くと「逆の動き」になり、undress は「服を脱がせる・脱ぐ」。undresses はその三単現です。get dressed が「服を着る」なら、その反対向きが undress だと対で覚えると残りやすくなります。before bed や in the bathroom のような、着替えや就寝前の場面と結びつけるのも有効です。take off clothes に近いですが、undress のほうが少し文章語・説明的に使われます。
Use the pair `dress` and `undress`. If `get dressed` means put clothes on, `undress` is the movement in the opposite direction. `Undresses` is just the `he/she` form, so picture someone undressing before bed.

undresses の語源・成り立ち Etymology
undresses は un-「逆・ほどく」+ dress から成る語です。dress は古フランス語 dresser、さらにラテン語 directus「まっすぐ整える」にさかのぼるため、ここでは「整えた服装をほどいて外す」という感覚になり、関連語は dress、address です。
Undresses comes from un- "reverse, remove" and dress. Dress came through Old French dresser from Latin directus, with an earlier sense of arranging, setting straight, or preparing. From "put in order" it developed into "clothe," and undress naturally became the opposite action. Related words include dress and address.
