Consecrate, in a way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anoint

'consecrate in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for anoint that I've seen before include "Apply consecrated oil to" , "Consecrate with blessed oils" , "Administer a sacred oil" , "Apply oil as sign of consecration" , "Apply oil as part of a rite" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
