The term splintered means to break off. When wood breaks, it often forms splinters. If it is cut, it doesn't. Perhaps you have tried to break a branch or stick and it splintered instead of breaking cleanly. This can be used in another way: one group of people may break away from a larger group and people will say that the second group has splintered off.
