What is another word for semitransparency?
Pronunciation: [sˌɛmɪtɹanspˈaɹənsi] (IPA) 
Semitransparency is a term used to describe an object or material that allows some light to pass through but not enough to make out objects clearly. There are several synonyms that can be used in place of this word, such as translucency, opacity, or translucence. Translucency is similar in meaning to semitransparency, as it also refers to the amount of light that can pass through an object, but it typically describes objects that are clearer and more easily visible. Opacity, on the other hand, refers to objects that are completely impenetrable to light and therefore cannot be seen through at all. Finally, translucence is a more general term that describes any material that allows light to pass through, regardless of the amount.
