(chiefly, British, slang) Completely nude.

Entering the bathroom, I found Bill there, still starkers after his bath.

Origin: * "naked": British slang, from 1923, combining (like a popular etymology) two meanings of strong, utterly; barren with stark naked, which is from Old English tail, referring to the tail-end (as in butt-naked). * "crazy":.
