Hello there,
Opaque is the antonym (or opposite) of transparent or translucent. It describes something that cannot be seen through, like a solid block of wood. Hope this helps:

The possible meanings are:
1. not transmitting light/energy (i.e. not allowing light/energy to pass through)
2. not clearly understood or expressed.
This word is the antonym of 'transparent'.
