English Dictionary: oleomargarine by the DICT Development Group
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   d8Olea \[d8]O"le*a\, n. [L. olive. See {Olive}.] (Bot.)
      A genus of trees including the olive.
  
      Note: The Chinese {Olea fragrans}, noted for its fragrance,

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Oleomargarine \O`le*o*mar"ga*rine\, n. [L. oleum oil + E.
      margarine, margarin.] [Written also {oleomargarin}.]
      1. A liquid oil made from animal fats (esp. beef fat) by
            separating the greater portion of the solid fat or
            stearin, by crystallization. It is mainly a mixture of
            olein and palmitin with some little stearin.
  
      2. An artificial butter made by churning this oil with more
            or less milk.
  
      Note: Oleomargarine was wrongly so named, as it contains no
               margarin proper, but olein, palmitin, and stearin, a
               mixture of palmitin and stearin having formerly been
               called margarin by mistake.
