besprinkled

Sprayed with droplets

Besprinkled means scattered or sprinkled over with something: a meadow besprinkled with wildflowers, cheeks besprinkled with freckles.

The word is literary and old-fashioned, now rarely encountered outside poetry or deliberately elevated prose.

The prefix be- intensifies the scattering, suggesting thorough coverage across a surface.
