waterdrops
Tiny liquid spheres
Waterdrops are small drops of water, as from rain, condensation, or splashing.
The word appears in poetic or descriptive contexts where water drops as two words would serve equally well: Waterdrops clung to the spider's web.
The single-word form emphasizes the drops as discrete objects rather than divided water.
