translucency
Translucency is a characteristic of a material that allows light to pass through, but the light is scattered so that objects on the other side cannot be clearly seen. It lies between transparency, which allows light to pass through unaffected, and opacity, which blocks all light. Translucent materials include frosted glass, certain kinds of paper, and some types of plastic or fabric.

Translucencynoun
