The setting

γύμνωσις ("nakedness") is a rare noun, not itself a New Testament word — the NT's ordinary term is γυμνότης (Rom 8:35, 2 Cor 11:27, Rev 3:18). ἀναγγέλλω ("told, reported") is common in the NT of proclaiming news, often good news (John 16:13-15, Acts 20:20,27) — here put to a shameful use.
