Where this word comes from
Attested 16th century. Cognate with Dutch sprenkelen, English sprinkle. Possibly a frequentative of sprengen (“to spray, to water”), from Proto-Germanic *sprangijaną. Alternatively denominal from Sprenkel, from Middle High German sprenkel, sprinkel, which would then be a nasalised variant of spreckel (“spot”), from the root of Proto-Germanic *sprakô (“spark”). Compare Middle Dutch sprank (“spark” and “spot”). It is also possible that the two roots were mixed.
