cristalino

crystalline

adjective krees-tah-LEE-noh Rare

Also means

crystal-clear

Usage Note

Cristalino describes both literal crystal-like transparency (agua cristalina) and figurative clarity (explicación cristalina). In anatomy it doubles as a noun — el cristalino is the lens of the eye, a false-friend trap for medical learners.

Examples

"El lago tiene un agua cristalina."

Natural Translation

The lake has crystal-clear water.
