noun
technical
A clear, glassy substance found in certain tissues and cysts of the body.
Hyalin turns up in medical and biological writing as the name for a translucent material that looks a little like frosted glass under the microscope. It forms in some tissues as they break down or change, and in cartilage it gives a smooth, pale appearance. The word comes from the Greek for glass, which explains the comparison, and it is a close relative of the adjective hyaline.
