Morphology

splunge = splash + plunge (transparent) = splash + plunge

Formed as an obvious blend of 'splash' + 'plunge', so the meaning (a noisy fall into liquid) is directly inferable from its parts.

Etymology

Splunge comes from a mix of splash and plunge, so imagine a loud fall into water that makes a huge splash. That's why splunge means a dramatic dive that sends water everywhere.
