Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro A later form (as if oint + -ment) of Middle English oinement, borrowed from Old French oignement (an anointing), from oigner, oindre, ongier (to anoint), from Latin ung(u)ō (I anoint), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃engʷ- (to smear, anoint). Partly displaced native sealf, whence modern salve.
