      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

               stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm
