/ti-lam-SIK/
FIL: Maliit na patak ng likido na tumalsik dahil sa pagtama o paggalaw.
EN: splash; splatter; spurt (of liquid)
The 'tilamsik' is the enemy when you're wearing a white shirt and cooking adobo. It's that tiny, traitorous drop of oil or sauce that always finds its way onto your clean clothes. Also what happens when a car speeds through a puddle next to you.
Likely from 'talsik' (spatter, fly off) with the '-um-' infix becoming '-ilam-'.
Can refer to any liquid, like water, oil, mud, or even blood. It implies a smaller, finer spray than 'saboy' (douse).
