Spray or mist created by wind blowing water, typically from waves or a waterfall.
Compound of blow (Old English blawan, to move air) plus spray (possibly from Old Norse spraya or Germanic roots meaning to scatter liquid). Describes wind-driven water droplets.
The blowspray from Niagara Falls creates rainbows during sunny days because wind disperses water droplets at just the right angles for light refraction—a natural optical miracle!
