prettygoodwordhyaline (HAI-uh-lin) - adj., glassy, transparent.
Also, as a noun (HAI-uh-leen), anything glassy or transparent, including a couple specialty meanings (sometimes spelled hyalin) in anatomy, botany, and entomology. I usually see it applied to waves, though. Adopted around 1660 from Late Latin hyalinus, from Greek hyálinos, from hyálos, glass.
