the moment fog becomes a window and you wonder why you ever squinted.

means the quality of being clear and easy to understand, see through, or perceive without confusion.

from From Latin claritas, 'brightness, clearness, fame,' built on clarus, 'clear, bright, distinct' — the same root that gives us 'clear,' 'declare,' and 'clarion.' Clarus originally described things that were bright or loud, then drifted toward the figurative sense of clear-to-the-mind. English borrowed it through Old French clarte before settling on the more Latin-looking 'clarity.'
