The unctuous homemade ointment had an unpleasant texture and smell, but it worked wonders.

Unctuous was originally used to describe the beneficial act of healing, but today word typically has a negative meaning. The word is derived from the Latin verb unguere, which means "to anoint," and from which the words unguent, which means "a soothing or curative salve," and ointment also derive.

Unctuous may have been used to describe objects distinguished by an unnatural gloss of sentimentality because of the oily quality of ointments. Unctuous people may have the best of intentions, but their fake sincerity can leave a bad taste in other people's mouths, much like some ointments.

Which words in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe create an ominous and spooky atmosphere?
andrew11 [14]
Words such as 'bleak', 'dying', 'wrought', 'ghost', and 'sorrow' create an ominous and spooky atmosphere in "The Raven". These words have negative connotations, meaning that the words sound dark and frightening to the reader. For instance, if you wanted to create a spooky atmosphere in the following sentence, you might replace the verb with another word that has a more negative connotation.

A chill passed through the room.
A chill crept across the room.

While both sentences mean essentially the same thing, the second sentence sounds scarier because the verb has a more negative connotation.

Hope this helps!
