Word Origin[edit]

pellucid \puh-LOO-sid\, adjective:

Pellucid comes from Latin pellucidus, "shining, transparent," from pellucere, "to shine through," from per-, "through" + lucere, "to shine." (unsigned)

In 1931, a six-part serial novel of adventures in a Hindu-mythology inspired hidden kingdom (Irimatri) beneath Asia - "Tam, Son of the Tiger" - appeared in Weird Tales magazine (June-December) written by well-known Edgar Rice Burroughs imitator/competitor - Otis Adelbert Kline. 69.108.49.51 (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
