splashboard

/splˈæʃbɔɹd/ noun

A guard towards the front of a horse-drawn vehicle, to prevent splashing by mud or water from the road.

Word Origin Splashboard is a vivid compound: splash, an onomatopoeic word for the sound of liquid striking, and board from Old English bord 'plank, shield.' So it's a board that shields from splashes. The same board root gives us dashboard, keyboard, and surfboard.
