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.

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}.

In                the case of diacid and triacid bases, and of dibasic                and tribasic acids, the mutual neutralization may vary                in degree, producing respectively basic, neutral, or                acid salts.
