Derived from the Latin 'transpicere', meaning 'to look through' (composed of 'trans-', across, and 'specere', to look). Entering English in the 17th century, it initially retained the literal physical sense of allowing light to pass through clearly, before evolving figuratively to describe writing, speech, or reasoning that is easily understood.
