limpid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'easy to look through?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'loose papers' is the wordplay.
'loose' becomes 'limp' (I've seen this before).
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identification papers).
'limp'+'id'='LIMPID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limpid that I've seen before include "Calm" , "Crystal clear, transparent" , "Clear and bright" , "Crystal clear like pure water" , "Clear - tranquil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
