Completely clear and transparent; easily understood or perceived. Can describe both physical clarity (like water) and mental clarity (like prose or thought).
From Latin 'limpidus' meaning 'clear, transparent,' possibly related to 'lympha' (water). The word entered English in the 17th century, initially describing clear water but expanding to include figurative clarity of expression or thought.
Think 'limp' water - water so clear and still it looks almost limp, without any cloudiness or disturbance! Limpid prose flows as clearly as crystal-clear mountain water. If your writing is limpid, readers can see straight through to your meaning without any murkiness.
