transparence

Quality of clearness

Transparence is a rare or literary variant of transparency—the quality of allowing light to pass through, or of being open and honest.

Both words share the same meanings, but transparency dominates in modern usage.

Transparence occasionally appears in poetic or archaic contexts: the transparence of the morning air.
