Does the sentence make sense? Calm down, the chaos will become limpid

I don't think chaos can become limpid.
 
Hi,

Personally, when I try to use a word for the first time, I try to find a sentence in which I can use the literal meaning of the word. Later, once I'm sure I dominate that, I start moving towards figurative meanings/uses of the word.

However, I'm not sure about this sentence of yours. I find it odd-sounding, but I can't quite say why (maybe it's just that "limpid" is not that frequent a word).

I would suggest, "Calm down, order will retun" (or "will be restored.")
"Limpid" doesn't work here. Check OneLook Dictionary for definitions.

It's not. I would say it is basically attached to phrases like "her eyes were like limpid pools" and not in general use.
