Origin and Etymology of the word UNANELED.

From An Etymology Dictionary of the English Language, by Walter W. Skeat, 1893

 

UNANELED,  without having received extreme unction.  (E.; partly L.,—Gk.)   In Hamlet, i. 5. 77.   Lit. 'not on oiled.'—A.S. un-, not; on, upon, on; and elan, to oil, an unauthorised verb regularly formed from ele, sb., oil.   The A.S. ele is prob. not a Teut. word, but borrowed from Lat. oleum, oil, Gk. ἔλαιον.   See Un- (1), On, and Oil; and see note to Anneal. [†] 

ADDENDA

'I aneele a sicke man, I anoynte hym with holy oyle, Ienhuylle.   I lefte hym so farre past, that he was houseled and aneeled;' Palsgrave.   The word anele was also spelt anoil, by substitution of the F. form oil for the older A.S. form.   See two examples in Davies, Supp. Glossary.
