translucently

/tɹænˈsɫusəntli/ adv

In a translucent way.

Word Origin From Latin 'trans' (through) and 'lucere' (to shine) — so translucent literally means 'light shining through.' The root 'luc' gives us lucid (clear, shining), elucidate (to make clear, literally 'to shine light out'), and even Lucifer (light-bringer). The adverb translucently describes something done in a way that lets light through.

adv In a translucent way.
