What is the aramaic word for anointed?

The Aramaic word for "anointed" is מְשִׁיחַ (Mashiach). This word is the origin of the English word "Messiah."

Here's how it breaks down:

* מְשִׁיחַ (Mashiach) literally means "anointed one."

* מָשַׁח (mashach) means "to anoint."

* שִׁיחַ (shiach) means "oil" or "ointment."

Therefore, "Mashiach" refers to someone who has been anointed with oil, often in a religious ceremony, signifying a special status or role.
