Etymology of oil:
From Middle English oyle, oile (“olive oil”), borrowed from Anglo-Norman olie, from Latin oleum (“oil, olive oil”), from Ancient Greek ἔλαιον (élaion, “olive oil”), from ἐλαία (elaía, “olive”). More at olive. Supplanted Middle English ele (“oil”), from Old English ele (“oil”), also from Latin.
