Translucent „letting light through without being able to recognize objects in it“ Synonym: translucent Opposite: opaque „(...) intermediate space, simultaneously a perceptual medium of seeing and a structure of visibility. » [Larousse] [Eric Beauron, The Transparent] „By transparent, I mean that which is visible without being absolutely visible in itself, but thanks to a borrowed color. These are air, water and a multitude of solid bodies. (...) Light is the action, I mean of the transparent as transparent. But where the transparent is only potential, there is also darkness. » [Aristotle, De anima, II – Übers. E. Barbotin]
