Root Explanation

**Splashiest** → It is formed from "splash" (of uncertain origin, possibly imitative of the sound made when something hits water) and the suffix "-iest" (meaning most). The word "splashiest" refers to something that makes the most splash or is the most striking or noticeable in a lively or colorful way.

Memory Tip

Think of the sound of water splashing, which is what 'splash' evokes, and remember that 'splashiest' means the most noticeable or vibrant, like a big splash in a pool.
