nf. obscurity, that which is obscure; anonymity; unclearness; dimness, darkness

(n.) = darkness ; obscurity ; murkiness ; blackness ; duskiness.
Ex: At every instant the darkness of the line being drawn is made equal to the darkness of the point on the picture being observed by the photocell.
Ex: Obscurity in the law is against the public interest.
Ex: Given the murkiness surrounding the identification of which spaces are public and which are private, it seems rather futile to attempt to define public space by a single characteristic = Dada la falta de claridad que rodea la identificación de qué espacios son públicos y cuáles son privados o semiprivados, parece bastante inútil intentar definir lo que es un espacio público con una sola característica.
Ex: Blackness is like putting you on a chessboard, where things are strictly black and white, and there is no in-between.
Ex: Some of the photos are a bit dark; however, the duskiness does convey the hazy, 'frozen in time' feel of the room at that moment.
