Morphology
drippings = dripping (transparent) = drip + ing + s
Formed from 'dripping' (liquid that drips) with the plural/collective '-s'; the meaning follows directly from the components.
Etymology
Drippings comes from the verb drip, which means 'to fall in drops' and is like the common word 'drop'. So drippings are the fat and juices that 'drip' from meat while it cooks, and that is why cooks save them to make gravy or fry food.
