Translucent
adjective/trans-loo-sent/
(of a substance) allowing light, but not detailed shapes, to pass through; semi-transparent.
In contextThe curtains were made of a translucent fabric that lit the room softly.
Remember it
TRANS (through) + LUC (light): light shines through, but shapes stay blurry.
Use it well
Not the same as transparent — use for frosted glass, jellyfish or thin leaves where light glows through.
