Easton's Bible Dictionary
(1 John 2:20, 27; R.V., "anointing"). Kings, prophets, and priests were anointed, in token of receiving divine grace. All believers are, in a secondary sense, what Christ was in a primary sense, "the Lord's anointed."
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (n.) The act of anointing, especially for medical purposes, or as a symbol of consecration; as, mercurial unction.

2. (n.) That which is used for anointing; an unguent; an ointment; hence, anything soothing or lenitive.

3. (n.) Divine or sanctifying grace.

4. (n.) That quality in language, address, or the like, which excites emotion; especially, strong devotion; religious fervor and tenderness; sometimes, a simulated, factitious, or unnatural fervor.
