Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : The same group of three letters appear in translucent, elucidate, and lucid, illuminating the family relationship between the three words. All descend from the Latin word lucere, meaning “to shine.” Translucent is from lucere plus trans-, which means “through”—hence, something translucent allows light to pass through. To elucidate something is to metaphorically shine a light on it by explaining it clearly; a lucid person is able to think clearly, and lucid writing is easy to understand. We hope this light explainer helps clarify things.
