Blessed using oil (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anointed

(Other definitions for anointed that I've seen before include "Oiled - consecrated" , "Nominated (as successor)" , "Smeared with oil" , "Administered with oil" , "Blessed with sacred oils" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the USA Today.
