diaphanousness
See-through fabric trait
Diaphanousness is the quality of being sheer or translucent—allowing light to pass through while remaining delicately visible: the diaphanousness of her silk scarf, the diaphanousness of morning fog.
The word extends to anything lacking substance or opacity, whether fabric, atmosphere, or argument.
