Note
A regular past form, made by adding -d. One spelling serves as the simple past (the wolf bared its fangs) and after have or be (his shoulders were bared). It keeps the verb's figurative reach, so a person can bare a secret as readily as an arm. Keep it apart from bear: bare was once an obsolete past tense of that verb, but bared belongs only to uncovering.
