gauziness
Translucent fabric property
Gauziness is the quality of being gauzy—thin, light, and somewhat transparent, like gauze fabric.
The word describes physical sheerness: the gauziness of her summer dress.
It also captures haziness or indistinctness: a gauziness to the morning light, the gauziness of half-remembered dreams.
