   Syn: Translucent, Transparent.

   Usage: A thing is translucent when it merely admits the
          passage of light, without enabling us to distinguish
          the color and outline of objects through it; it is
          transparent when we can clearly discern objects placed
          on the other side of it. Glass, water, etc., are
          transparent; ground glass is translucent; a
          translucent style.
          [1913 Webster]
