Word origin
The word 'sprayer' originated from the verb 'spray', which comes from the Middle Dutch word 'sprāyen' meaning 'to sprinkle or shower'. The concept of spraying liquids onto surfaces has been used in agriculture for centuries, but modern sprayers with mechanical pumps and nozzles became popular in the 19th century with the advancement of chemical agriculture.
