The Terminal of macOS is opaque by default, if you wish to make it transparent, you need to follow the below steps,
- Open Terminal,
- Go to Menu: Preferences...,
- Now Choose the theme that you are using, it should be the Basic theme by default,
- Under Background: Click on the image box that reads - Color and Effects,
- You will see a Colors window open, where there are multiple bars, adjust Opacity, as you make this value less then 100% you will see that the background of the Terminal window gets transparent.
- Close the Colors window,
- Close the Preferences window
- The changes must be reflected now.

If you want to revert the changes, you follow the same steps and change the opacity to 100%, so the Terminal window will look opqaue.
