Ok, but can we talk about the word “pellucidly” for a moment? Clearly (no pun intended) this isn’t in the common English vernacular. In fact, I’ve never once heard or read it before. May I ask where you found it?
- technothrasher 4y agoI usually see it associated with very clear water, as in a 'pellucid pool'.
- swayvil 4y agoPellucid is randomly common in 40s-60s scifi.
- squarefoot 4y agoYou probably mean Pellucidar, the fictional hollow Earth populated by prehistoric humans and creatures imagined by writer Edgar Rice Burroughs.
- lukeasrodgers 4y agoI recall having come across it in articles on/translations of continental philosophy. I've never heard anyone use it in conversation.
- billfruit 4y agoIts not an uncommon word. "Of all that is most beauteous—imaged there In happier beauty; more pellucid streams, An ampler ether, a diviner air, And fields invested with purpureal gleams; Climes which the Sun, who sheds the brightest day Earth knows, is all unworthy to survey." -- Wordsworth
