I like the above suggestion that the accessory was originally called a 'Fused Spur Outlet".
So using 'Spur' for this accessory is just an inappropriate abbreviation of which there are innumerable others like 'a radio' or 'an MoT'.
Does anyone ask for a 'Flex' when wanting to buy a 'Flex Outlet (Plate or Connector)'? No?
Unfortunately 'spur' has another meaning in electrical work as defined in BS7671 Part 2.
