It also keeps它也保留了 a plain literal sense字面上的意思: a splashy puddle, or splashy paint像splashy puddle或splashy paint, is one that makes or shows splashes就是會濺出水花或有濺痕的東西, and 'splashy'而splashy can describe也可以形容 a pattern of large irregular marks一種大片不規則的斑紋, as on a shirt像衣服上的那種。Forms變化: splashier, splashiest就是splashier、splashiest。
core核心畫面
組成splash(水花、濺)+ -y(形容詞字尾,「有…性質的」)。-y 是英文最常見的形容詞字尾之一,從古英文 -iġ 一路傳下來,像 dirty、noisy、shiny 都是同一個。所以 splashy 就是「像濺起水花那樣的」——聲勢大、看得見。
