Diathermance

/ˌdaɪ.əˈθɜr.məns/ noun

Definition

The property or capacity of a substance to transmit heat or radiant energy through itself.

Etymology

From Greek 'dia-' (through) + 'thermē' (heat) + '-ance' (noun suffix indicating quality or state), a technical term from 19th-century physics.

Kelly Says

Diathermance is why ovens have glass doors—the glass transmits enough visible light to see your food while still retaining heat; pure transparency alone wouldn't help much if the glass didn't also have the right thermal properties.
