splashy の語源・成り立ち Etymology
splashy は splash + -y「〜っぽい」。splash は英語の擬音語的な語で、水がばしゃっと散る音や動きからでき、splatter も近い語族。そこから色や服装が「飛び散るように目立つ」感覚が生まれ、「派手な」の意味へ広がった。
Splashy comes from splash with the ending -y. Splash is probably an expressive English word that imitates the sound or movement of liquid striking and scattering, and it is related in feeling to words like splatter. From the idea of water spreading out suddenly, the meaning later widened to things that look bold, showy, or attention-grabbing.
