splashings

Liquid hitting surfaces

Splashings are instances of liquid being scattered or thrown about.

The word usually appears in contexts describing repeated or multiple splashing actions: The splashings of children in the pool could be heard from the porch.

Less commonly, splashings refers to the liquid itself—what gets splattered: splashings of mud on the fender.
