Translucent

adjective/trans-loo-sent/

(of a substance) allowing light, but not detailed shapes, to pass through; semi-transparent.

The curtains were made of a translucent fabric that lit the room softly.

TRANS (through) + LUC (light): light shines through, but shapes stay blurry.

Not the same as transparent — use for frosted glass, jellyfish or thin leaves where light glows through.
