A tool or vessel used to sprinkle water, especially holy water in religious ceremonies.
From French 'aspersoir', derived from Latin 'aspergere' (to sprinkle) + French '-oir' (instrument suffix). This combines the Latin verb root with a French instrumental suffix to create a noun for the device itself.
The Catholic church has multiple names for the water-sprinkling device—aspersoir is the fancy French name, while English calls it an aspergillum; it's basically a religious paint brush made for liquid instead of paint.
