mousseline
Delicate French cloth
Mousseline is a fine, lightweight fabric with a sheer, gauzy quality, or a culinary preparation with a light, airy texture.
In cooking, mousseline typically refers to a sauce (especially hollandaise) lightened with whipped cream, or a delicate mousse-like dish: The chef finished the asparagus with a mousseline sauce.
The fabric sense describes something diaphanous and flowing.
