  Translucent \Trans*lu"cent\, a. [L. translucens, -entis, p. pr.
     of translucere to shine through; trans across, through =
     lucere to shine. See Lucid.]
     1. Transmitting rays of light without permitting objects to
        be distinctly seen; partially transparent.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Transparent; clear. [Poetic] ``Fountain or fresh current .
        . . translucent, pure.'' --Milton.
        [1913 Webster]

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Translucent, Transparent.
  
     Usage: A thing is translucent when it merely admits the
            passage of light, without enabling us to distinguish
            the color and outline of objects through it; it is
            transparent when we can clearly discern objects placed
            on the other side of it. Glass, water, etc., are
            transparent; ground glass is translucent; a
            translucent style.
