Faucet
A service that distributes small amounts of test-network assets for development.
PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION
In more detail
A developer still needs the test network's fee asset to try a deployment or transaction. A faucet helps supply that starting balance, sometimes with limits or access requirements. The assets belong to the testing environment, so receiving them does not create an equivalent balance on the production network.

How you might use it
"My testnet wallet is empty. I need a little test ETH from the faucet before I can deploy."
