Etymology

The word 'splotch' emerged in the English language in the mid-19th century, likely derived from the earlier term 'splot,' which is a variant of 'splotch.' The roots of 'splotch' can be traced back to the earlier verb 'splatter' or 'splash,' suggesting an action of scattering liquid or color that results in irregular blotches. Over time, 'splotch' evolved to describe not just a verb action but also the resultant marks or spots themselves. The suffix '-ier' indicates the comparative form, suggesting an increase in the quality of being 'splotchy.' This development reflects a broader trend in the English language to create comparative forms by adding '-ier' to adjectives to describe relative degrees of qualities.
