semitransparent

/sˌɛmɪtɹænspˈæɹənt/ adj

Allowing some visibility but partially clouded or obscured; transparent in some portions but not others; translucent.

Word Origin Semitransparent is built from semi- 'half' and transparent 'appearing through.' Transparent itself comes from trans- 'through' and parere 'to appear' — so something that appears through. Semitransparent is half-transparent, letting some light through but not fully. The root parere also gives us apparent (visible) and even oviparous (egg-laying, bringing forth eggs).

adj Allowing some visibility but partially clouded or obscured; transparent in some portions but not others; translucent.

The semitransparent curtains allowed just enough light to filter through while maintaining privacy.
