Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French oint, past participle of oindre (12th cent. in Old French; also in Anglo-Norman as oynder , uindre ; French oindre ) < classical Latin unguere , ungere to anoint (see unguent n.). Compare slightly earlier anoint v., and also noint v. Compare earlier ointer n. and note at that entry.In γ and δ forms remodelled after classical Latin unct-, past participial stem of unguere , ungere to anoint; compare also Middle French oinct , oynct , past participle (16th cent.). Several of the quots. (for both oint and ointed ) are from translations of Virgil.
