Question

translucent Architects today often use industrial glass bricks in their home designs, because translucent walls admit daylight while guarding privacy. trænsˈlusənt

Accepted Answer

Partly transparent; allowing light to pass through without permitting objects beyond to be seen clearly. With its prefix trans-, meaning “through,” translucent describes material that light shines through without making anything on the other side clearly visible, unlike a transparent material. Frosted glass, often used in bathroom windows, is translucent, as is stained glass. Red wine in a crystal goblet, when held before a candle in a dark corner of a quiet restaurant, usually proves to be translucent as well.
