I believe the answer is:

hose

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'spray' is the first definition.
(to spray or hose with water)

'water on breeches?' is the second definition.
'hose' can be an answer for 'water' (water a flowerbed say). I am not certain of the 'on breeches?' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hose that I've seen before include "Flexible tube for liquid" , "Stockings; drench" , "Flexible pipe for liquid" , "Stockings, etc." , "Socks and stockings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
