What does anoint mean?

Answer:
In the New Testament anoint speaks of daily hair grooming (Matt. 6:17), treating injury or illness (Luke 10:34), and preparing a body for burial (Mark 16:1). Christians see Jesus as God's Anointed One, the Savior (Acts 10:38). Christians are also anointed by God for ministry (2Cor. 1:21; 1 John 2:27). Priests and kings were ceremonially anointed as a sign of official appointment to office and as a symbol of God's power upon them.
