Lucidly clear

Word discovery: “Pellucidly”
Citation: Hardblogger, Bush Administration:
Parade of Lies (Bob Shrum), Nov. 2, 2005.
Usage: “He [Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito] was selected on Halloween, but the mask he’s wearing - that he hasn’t made up his mind yet - is pellucidly transparent.” [color mine]
Meaning:
Transparently clear
Comments: If you look at the root word, “lucid”, it makes some sense.
