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 Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Olive-tree       is frequently mentioned in Scripture. The dove from the ark       brought an olive-branch to Noah (Gen. 8:11). It is mentioned       among the most notable trees of Palestine, where it was       cultivated long before the time of the Hebrews (Deut. 6:11;       8:8). It is mentioned in the first Old Testament parable, that       of Jotham (Judg. 9:9), and is named among the blessings of the       "good land," and is at the present day the one characteristic       tree of Palestine. The oldest olive-trees in the country are       those which are enclosed in the Garden of Gethsemane. It is       referred to as an emblem of prosperity and beauty and religious       privilege (Ps. 52:8; Jer. 11:16; Hos. 14:6). The two "witnesses"       mentioned in Rev. 11:4 are spoken of as "two olive trees       standing before the God of the earth." (Comp. Zech. 4:3, 11-14.)                The "olive-tree, wild by nature" (Rom. 11:24), is the shoot or       cutting of the good olive-tree which, left ungrafted, grows up       to be a "wild olive." In Rom. 11:17 Paul refers to the practice       of grafting shoots of the wild olive into a "good" olive which       has become unfruitful. By such a process the sap of the good       olive, by pervading the branch which is "graffed in," makes it a       good branch, bearing good olives. Thus the Gentiles, being a       "wild olive," but now "graffed in," yield fruit, but only       through the sap of the tree into which they have been graffed.       This is a process "contrary to nature" (11:24).
