Definition
An archaic or dialect term meaning to rinse or wash thoroughly.
Etymology
From 'be-' combined with 'rinse' (from Middle Dutch rinschen). This follows the Old English pattern of 'be-' intensifying or making transitive the action of a verb.
Kelly Says
This word shows how regional English dialects preserved ancient verb patterns—in some corners of the English-speaking world, 'be-' verbs remained in common speech long after they vanished from standard English.
