What is another word for translucent substance?
Pronunciation: [tɹanslˈuːsənt sˈʌbstəns] (IPA) 
When describing a translucent substance, there are various synonyms that can be used. For instance, a semi-opaque material is partially see-through, allowing some light to pass through but not enough to clearly see objects behind it. Such a material can also be referred to as being semi-translucent or somewhat transparent. Another synonym for translucent substance is frosted glass, which has a textured surface that scatters light and makes the object behind it less visible. Similarly, milky or hazy substances can be used to describe a translucent substance that is not completely clear, while gauzy or diaphanous materials suggest a delicate and easily transparent texture.
