translucent glass
Light passes, blurred
Translucent glass allows light to pass through but diffuses it, so objects on the other side appear blurred or indistinct rather than clearly visible.
Unlike transparent glass, which permits a clear view, translucent glass offers privacy while still admitting light: The bathroom window was translucent glass.
Common types include frosted, etched, and textured glass.
