Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Old Spanish encienso, a semi-learned borrowing from Late Latin incēnsum (“incense”), from Latin incēnsus (“inflamed, fiery”), from incendō (“to set on fire, burn, kindle”). Compare with Old Spanish encensar (“to cense”) and enceso (“inflamed, kindled”) (from encender), which was inherited directly from Latin.
