Oil \Oil\ (oil), n. [OE. oile, OF. oile, F. huile, fr. L. oleum; akin to Gr. [?]. Cf. {Olive}.] Any one of a great variety of unctuous combustible substances, not miscible with water; as, olive oil, whale oil, rock oil, etc. They are of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin and of varied composition, and they are variously used for food, for solvents, for anointing, lubrication, illumination, etc. By extension, any substance of an oily consistency; as, oil of vitriol. Note: The mineral oils are varieties of petroleum. See {Petroleum}. The vegetable oils are of two classes, {essential oils} (see under {Essential}), and {natural oils} which in general resemble the animal oils and fats. Most of the natural oils and the animal oils and fats consist of ethereal salts of glycerin, with a large number of organic acids, principally stearic, oleic, and palmitic, forming respectively stearin, olein, and palmitin. Stearin and palmitin prevail in the solid oils and fats, and olein in the liquid oils. Mutton tallow, beef tallow, and lard are rich in stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm and cod-liver oils in olein. In making soaps, the acids leave the glycerin and unite with the soda or potash. {Animal oil}, {Bone oil}, {Dipple's oil}, etc. (Old Chem.), a complex oil obtained by the distillation of animal substances, as bones. See {Bone oil}, under {Bone}. {Drying oils}, {Essential oils}. (Chem.) See under {Drying}, and {Essential}. {Ethereal oil of wine}, {Heavy oil of wine}. (Chem.) See under {Ethereal}. {Fixed oil}. (Chem.) See under {Fixed}. {Oil bag} (Zo[94]l.), a bag, cyst, or gland in animals, containing oil. {Oil beetle} (Zo[94]l.), any beetle of the genus {Meloe} and allied genera. When disturbed they emit from the joints of the legs a yellowish oily liquor. Some species possess vesicating properties, and are used instead of cantharides. {Oil box}, [or] {Oil cellar} (Mach.), a fixed box or reservoir, for lubricating a bearing; esp., the box for oil beneath the journal of a railway-car axle. {Oil cake}. See under {Cake}. {Oil cock}, a stopcock connected with an oil cup. See {Oil cup}. {Oil color}. (a) A paint made by grinding a coloring substance in oil. (b) Such paints, taken in a general sense. | |
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: | |
Ethereal \E*the"re*al\, a. 1. Pertaining to the hypothetical upper, purer air, or to the higher regions beyond the earth or beyond the atmosphere; celestial; as, ethereal space; ethereal regions. Go, heavenly guest, ethereal messenger. --Milton. 2. Consisting of ether; hence, exceedingly light or airy; tenuous; spiritlike; characterized by extreme delicacy, as form, manner, thought, etc. Vast chain of being, which from God began, Natures ethereal, human, angel, man. --Pope. 3. (Chem.) Pertaining to, derived from, or resembling, ether; as, ethereal salts. {Ethereal oil}. (Chem.) See {Essential oil}, under {Essential}. {Ethereal oil of wine} (Chem.), a heavy, yellow, oily liquid consisting essentially of etherin, etherol, and ethyl sulphate. It is the oily residuum left after etherification. Called also {heavy oil of wine} (distinguished from oil of wine, or [d2]nanthic ether). {Ethereal salt} (Chem.), a salt of some organic radical as a base; an ester. | |
