roiskeelta
Roiskeelta is a Finnish linguistic and labeling term formed from roiske, meaning splash or spray, with the elative suffix -elta. The word is used to express protection against splashes or exposure to splashing water in a general, non-technical sense. In everyday Finnish, phrases such as roiskeelta suojattu or roiskeelta kestävä are commonly found on product packaging to indicate some level of splash protection.
Roiskeelta derives from roiske (splash) and the elative case suffix -elta, which literally means “from splashes.”
