Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

Inherited from Middle French rincer (“to rinse”), from Old French rincer, raïncier (“to rinse, cleanse”). Of contested origin. Either from Old Norse hreinsa (“to rinse, clean out”), from Proto-Germanic *hrainisōną (“to clean, purify”), or from a dissimilation of Old French recincer, from Latin recentāre (“to make fresh”), from recens. Cognate with English rinse, which see.
