| 释义 | anoint Often misspelled annoint, says Copperud 1970, 1980. The spelling annoint is already recognized as a standard variant in the sense of anointing as a sacred rite. But our evidence confirms Copperud: the ann- spelling is spreading to the other sense of anoint: • ... former times when no boy would annoint himself below his navel —Prose, Fall 1971 • ... his views and his new power have served to annoint him as the spiritual leader of the new bloc of ultraconservatives —N.Y. Times Mag., 8 Feb. 1981 • ... oysters poached in white wine and annointed with beurre blanc —Town & Country, June 1980 We also have a couple of annointments. None of these spellings is yet recognized in dictionaries. |
