Etymology

The word 'oily' traces its roots back to the 14th century, derived from the Middle English term 'oily,' which referred to something that contained oil or had the characteristics of oil. The word 'oil' itself comes from the Old French 'oile,' which is derived from the Latin 'oleum,' meaning 'oil' or 'olive oil.' In the context of the English language, 'oil' has been used historically to denote various oily substances derived from plants and animals, as well as synthetic oils that are used in a multitude of applications. The comparative adjective 'oilier' emerged as a way to describe something that has an increased level of oil compared to another object or substance.
