Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old Polish rynsztok, from German Rinnstein or from uncommon Rinnstock. While the latter does exist (despite the claims of some sources), it seems restricted to eastern German dialects, such as German Silesian, and is indeed first attested in M.A. Troc’s Polish-German dictionary of 1744, meaning that it could be a reborrowing from Polish. Note, however, that Rinnstein (attested in the late 16th c.) also postdates the Polish term.
