Plash: a footstep of water, from the ability of small bodies (plashes) of water to concentrate (pool) and to take on the characteristics of whatever holds them, whether it is a bowl, a dip in a stone or a leaf, a meadow, or the sound (plash) of a man or woman walking through them. A plash is the bound space of a splash.
