penumbra
noun
pen·um·bra pə-ˈnəm-brə 
plural penumbrae pə-ˈnəm-(ˌ)brē
-ˌbrī
or penumbras 1
a
: a space of partial illumination (as in an eclipse) between the perfect shadow on all sides and the full light
b
: a shaded region surrounding the dark central portion of a sunspot
Did you know?
Every solar eclipse casts an umbra, the darker central area in which almost no light reaches the earth, and a penumbra, the area of partial shadow where part of the sun is still visible. Penumbra can thus be used to describe any "gray area" where things aren't all black and white. For example, the right to privacy falls under the penumbra of the U.S. Constitution; though it isn't specifically guaranteed there, the Supreme Court has held that it is implied, and thus that the government may not intrude into certain areas of a citizen's private life. Because its existence is still shadowy, however, the Court is still determining how much of an individual's life is protected by the right to privacy.
