Word Origin
The word limpid comes from the Latin limpidus, meaning “clear, transparent, or bright,” particularly in reference to clear water. It entered English in the late 16th century, originally describing something physically clear or transparent. Over time, its meaning expanded figuratively to describe things that are clear, pure, calm, or untroubled.
