semitransparent
Lets some light
Semitransparent describes something that lets some light through but not enough to see clearly through it.
A semitransparent curtain might glow with sunlight while still obscuring the view outside.
The term falls between transparent (fully see-through) and opaque (blocking all light): semitransparent glass, a semitransparent overlay in image editing.
