Rinse

I was a little numb yesterday, but I was also puzzled by a verb--enjuagar.  So I took the verb to where it should go, a once student boss, an excellent mother, now a cherished friend.  She told me, and she was right.  Mothers usually are.


OK--so where does it come from?  "Middle English rincen, from Old French rincier, from Vulgar Latin *recentire, from Latin recins, recent-, fresh; see recent.]"
says thefreedictionary.com.


Now, my dear Ofelia, tell me--why is there no cognate (rincear?) in Spanish?
