Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Late Middle English unctuous, borrowed from ūnctuōsus (greasy, oily, unctuous), from Latin ūnctum (ointment; rich banquet; rich savoury dish) + -ōsus. Ūnctum is a noun use of the perfect passive participle of unguō (to anoint; to smear with oil, to grease or oil), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃engʷ- (to anoint; to smear).
