This, in turn, comes from the Greek khrisma (), meaning "anointing" or "unction." The connection likely arose because of the thick, rich texture of cream, resembling ointments used for anointing. Over time, the term came to specifically refer to the fatty layer that rises to the top of milk.Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
