anointer

/ænˈɔɪntɚ/ noun

One who anoints.

Word Origin 'Anoint' comes from Latin inungere 'to smear on,' from in- 'on' and ungere 'to smear.' An anointer is one who anoints, originally with oil or ointment. The root ungere also gives us 'unguent' (an ointment) and 'unction' (the act of anointing). The PIE root *h₃neg- meant 'to anoint' and is related to 'oil' in some languages.
