To splatter is for a liquid to hit a surface and break into many small drops that spread out and stay there — hot oil splatters out of the pan, mud splatters up the side of a car, paint splatters on the floor. You can also splatter something yourself: he splattered paint across the canvas; the bus splattered us with dirty water. It is stronger and messier than 'splash': a splash is one body of water moving, a splatter is many scattered marks, and it usually leaves something behind that you have to clean.
