Root Explanation

Transparence → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across) and "parere" (meaning to appear or show). The word "transparence" refers to the quality of allowing light to pass through, making things visible across it.

Memory Tip

Think of something that allows you to see "across" ('trans-') it, as it "appears" ('parere') clearly. This helps you remember that "transparence" means the quality of being clear or see-through.
