Why “limpidity” is a great word
LIMPIDITY — [Noun] The quality or state of being perfectly clear and transparent, either literally (as of a liquid) or figuratively (as of writing or thought). From French limpidité, from Latin limpiditās, from limpidus ("clear, transparent"). Unlike "clarity," which suggests a general intelligibility, or "transparency," which denotes a physical property of light transmission, limpidity implies a serene, pure, and unclouded lucidity, often poetic. It is the cool, unblemished depth of a mountain spring seen all the way to its sandy floor; it is the faultless syntax of a sentence that carries its meaning without a ripple of obscurity; it is the calm certainty in a gaze that needs no translation. It is not merely the absence of murk, but the presence of a quiet light.
