"Paraphernalia"

       I employ the term for a spacer tube I use with an asthma inhaler.

       But every time I think of the word "paraphernalia," my first association is with accoutrements for drug taking.

       The word comes from Greek para "beyond," pherne "a dowry," that is, a wife-to-be's personal possessions outside her dowry.

       Generally, the word refers to objects or appurtenances that go along with some main thing else.
