Wash back of woman in spring (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rinse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wash' is the definition.
(I know that wash can be written as rinse)

'back of woman in spring' is the wordplay.
'back of woman' becomes 'n' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'spring' becomes 'rise' (I've seen this in another clue).
'n' placed within 'rise' is 'RINSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rinse that I've seen before include "Wash in clean water" , "Remove soap with clean water" , "Wash - siren (anag)" , "Colour" , "Wash lightly without soap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
