spillings
Liquids escaping containers
Spillings is the plural of spilling—instances of liquid or loose material flowing over a container's edge or falling from where it belongs.
The word often appears in contexts involving repeated or multiple accidents: The spillings from the overfilled glasses left sticky trails across the bar.
It can also refer to what has been spilled: She wiped up the spillings before they stained.
