Comments on the clue
1.Not really a semi & lit.
2.there's no such thing as semi &lit – either it is or it isn't. This isn't
3.Rather contrived surface reading, especially "masking".
4.Not a very convincing surface IMHO
5.Quite like the idea, although not sure about 'splashing' as an anagram indicator, and don't agree with the 'semi & lit.' claim
