Dont get impatient with people, who do not know certain words. When I was learning English, when I was little, it was very hard for me, some words sound very similar and may be confusing, not to mention the toxic chemicals in our food and water and GMOs inhibiting the development of our childrens brains for the last 20 years at least. We should help, not get mad. Please show kindness and patience when dealing with people today. We do not know the reasons behind their lingual or educational impairment. I myself get frustrated with stupidity sometimes, but I am really, genuinely trying to change and be a kinder, better person, a better Human being. I got this from an online dictionary... not the best source, I know... but here goes: TO HELP OUR FRIEND These are both Latin words, and the etymologies help here. trans simply means through lūceō simply means to shine So translucent means shining through -- i.e, light passes through, though nothing is said about an image. pāreō means to look, seem, or appear; to think (of); to sound (like) So transparent clearly refers to identifiable images, most likely visual (hence implying light), but also any sensory percept involving a mental image, as in a transparent lie. Since transparent usually entails light passing through a substance, translucent has become specialized in its sense to entail light passing, but no image. https://youtube/watch?v=p2DS_wgrEBc
