Where this word comes from

From Middle High German and Middle Low German sprengel (“aspergillum; sprinkling brush; something which can be used to squirt or spray a fluid”), thus equivalent to sprengen (“to squirt, to sprinkle”) + -el (tool suffix). From there, it was extended to refer to the ecclesiastical district said to be hallowed with such a tool, initially in Low German, then adopted and popularized in German by Martin Luther, later extended to secular contexts.
