Clue

Split the clue: “Semitransparent(11)”

Clue Explanation

• Semitransparent means something that lets some light or radiation go through. It looks a bit clear or see-through, but not completely. You can see things through it, but they might look fuzzy or not clear.
• In a crossword, when you see "11," it usually means the number of letters in the answer to a clue. For instance, if the clue is "Semitransparent" and the answer has 11 letters, the "11" tells you how long the word is for that clue.

Answer

TRANSLUCENT

Answer Explanation

Translucent means a material that lets light go through, but you can't see things clearly on the other side. It's not completely clear like transparent stuff, and it doesn't block light completely like solid things. When something is called translucent, it means light can pass through, but it makes things on the other side look a bit blurry or not easy to see.
