showers
Light rain spells
Showers are brief periods of rain, typically lighter and shorter than storms: Scattered showers are expected this afternoon.
A shower is also a device or enclosure for bathing under a spray of water, or the act of bathing that way: I need a quick shower before we leave.
A shower of something is a fall of many things at once: a shower of sparks, a shower of confetti.
A shower is also a party where guests bring gifts for someone about to marry or have a baby: bridal shower, baby shower.
To shower someone with something is to give abundantly: They showered her with praise.
