Goodness is formed by adding -ness to good, and it means the quality or state of being good. In the same way that happiness means the state of being happy, goodness can describe the value or positive quality of food, a plan, an idea, or a material. Expressions like the goodness of fresh food or the goodness of a plan show what is valuable or admirable. Remember that it is not only about moral character, but also about general quality.

(意味 2)解説 Definition

A splash is a small amount of liquid that falls, hits, or is thrown in drops, often with a quick sound. It is commonly used when talking about water, mud, paint, and other liquids that scatter suddenly.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
名詞の splash は、石が水に落ちたあとに見える水柱や、壁に残ったペンキの斑点を「結果」として眺める語です。動詞がはねる動作なら、名詞はその瞬間に生じたしぶき・音・跡に焦点があります。a splash of water では水しぶき、a splash of red では赤い差し色のように、物理的な飛散から視覚的なアクセントへ意味が広がります。
Picture water, mud, or paint hitting something and spreading out fast. That strong liquid movement is the core of splash. It is more about wet, energetic flying than a general word like scatter. Also remember the phrase make a splash for attracting a lot of attention.
