<h1>ovidiu nl - Should we say that "ungere" derives from "unguen" (meaning "fat" or "salve") per the etymology for "ointment" in my big old Webster's dictionary? What do you think? (We may notice also that the etymological derivation for the words "unctuous" and "unguent" express the idea of "oil" or "grease" as the root meaning here.)</h1>
