The act of pouring or sprinkling liquid onto something; present participle of affuse.
Affuse + -ing (present participle suffix). Creates both the ongoing verb form and a gerund noun describing the action.
The '-ing' suffix is perhaps English's most useful suffix—it turns verbs into nouns, creates present participles, and functions as adjectives. 'Affusing' does all three at once!
