today's wwftd (hjta, from Forgotten English®) is:

unray - to divest of clothes; to undress, strip

On this date in 1893, the earliest documented striptease was performed at the Bal des Quatre Arts, held at Paris's notorious Moulin Rouge... offered by woman remembered simply as Mona, who normally earned at least a portion of her living by posing nude for painters and sculptors.
