pellucidness

See-through quality present

Pellucidness is the quality of being transparently clear—whether literally, as with water or glass, or figuratively, as with writing or thought.

The word describes perfect clarity that allows light or meaning to pass through without obstruction: the pellucidness of the mountain stream, the pellucidness of her prose.

A formal and literary term, rarely encountered outside careful writing about style or aesthetics.
