Turns liquids into regret-sized mist clouds, aimed at plants or enemies.

means A device that forces liquid through a narrow nozzle to disperse it as a fine mist or jet.

from Straightforward English carpentry: 'spray' (the fine mist of water, especially sea-spray) plus the agent suffix '-er', meaning 'thing that does the spraying.' 'Spray' itself traces back to Middle English/Middle Dutch roots tied to sprinkling and scattering water, with its sea-foam sense well established by the time machines were invented to make mist on purpose — gardeners and soldiers alike have been grateful, or sorry, ever since.
