Root Explanation

Splashier → It is formed from "splash" (of uncertain origin, likely imitative of the sound made when something hits a liquid) and the suffix "-ier" (meaning more). The word "splashier" means more splashy or producing more splashes than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that makes more noise or movement in water — that's what splashier means, as it describes something that creates more splashes.
