Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'plain, explicit'): from Latin nudus. The current sense is first found in noun use in the early 18th century.

「我會在明年兩會後完全退休，我這個退休叫『裸退』，無論是官方的、半官方的、還是群眾性團體，都不再擔任任何職務，希望你們完全把我忘記！」 吳儀大多數的時間脫稿話家常，但不乏語重心長。她勸誡在座企業人士廉潔奉公，吳儀不僅談及一些腐敗案例，並告訴大家，她的個人收入：「我現在每年所有收入 十二萬元（人民幣），還包括了保母費。我相信你們都比我拿的多，你們誰敢說沒有別墅？我希望在座諸位要廉潔，只拿該拿的，一定要拿得正當！」

鍾 漢清Hanching Chung (or HC/ hc)問 :『裸退』是否為舶來品?

張瑞麟先生答: 問古狗大師竟得兩筊杯
retraite nue

MIAO有意見:"......我還是覺得retraite nue/nue retraite的說法怪怪的

問過瑞麟後

才發現原來他是從一兩篇文章中找到這個詞但是我的疑問是:

這種說法連在法國都不普遍,怎麼可能傳到中國鐵娘子的耳裡,從而將此"舶來品"在地化,成為中國的"裸退"呢?

就算是數篇文章,但亦非"約定成俗"的用語,更不可能遠播至中南海

我強烈存疑......"
