Without a deadlift suit[1]. Some people also use "raw" to mean without straps as well[2].

Equipped DL puts more strain on the grip simply because the weight is heavier.

The best DL-like movement that specifically targets grip strength is partial DLs off the blocks or in the rack. That way the weight is heavier and you can specifically target the lockout hold where the grip strength is most important DL - wise.

Only ever heard it for straps.
