The quality or state of being clear.
Syn: {Clearness}, {Perspicuity}.
Usage: Clearness has reference to our ideas, and springs from
a distinct conception of the subject under
consideration. Perspicuity has reference to the mode
of expressing our ideas and belongs essentially to
style. Hence we speak of a writer as having clear
ideas, a clear arrangement, and perspicuous
phraseology. We do at times speak of a person's having
great clearness of style; but in such cases we are
usually thinking of the clearness of his ideas as
manifested in language. ``Whenever men think clearly,
and are thoroughly interested, they express themselves
with perspicuity and force.'' --Robertson.
