Sprindrift was known by the Scottish moniker “speendrift.” Speen meant “to drive before a strong wind,” so a “speendrift” was a drift of spray during such action. In 1823, English speakers recruited the word, but it was changed to “spindrift.” At that time, its intent was to describe the driving sprays at sea. However, English speakers soon realized that “spindrift” had potential to serve on land as well, and the word was sent ashore to describe driving snow and sand. Today, “spindrift” still describes that idea at sea and on land.
