unanointed
Lacking sacred oil
Unanointed means not having received anointing—the ritual application of oil that confers sacred status or authority.
In religious contexts, an unanointed person lacks divine sanction or blessing: an unanointed king.
More broadly, it describes someone who hasn't received official endorsement or recognition from those in power: He remained unanointed by the party establishment.
