Anointment (7)

I believe the answer is:

unction

'anointment' is the definition.
(I know that unction is a type of anointment)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for unction that I've seen before include "Affected charm" , "Balm - oily charm" , "Religious glibness" , "An anointing; oily charm" , "Act of anointing someone as part of a rite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
