'spray screen that will provide some privacy' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'spray screen' is the wordplay.
'spray' becomes 'shower' (showering is a kind of spraying).
'screen' becomes 'curtain' (curtain is a kind of screen).
'shower'+'curtain'='SHOWER CURTAIN'
