splattering
Liquid hitting surfaces
Splattering is the act of scattering liquid or soft matter in irregular drops or patches.
Paint splatters on a canvas, blood splatters at a crime scene, grease splatters from a pan.
The word suggests messiness and randomness—droplets flying in multiple directions.
The rain was splattering against the windows.
