Why “myroblyte” is a great word
MYROBLYTE — [Noun] A saint whose relics or burial place is said to have exuded a fragrant, often miraculous oil or liquid. From Byzantine Greek μυροβλύτης (muroblútēs, "myron-gushing"), from μύρον (múron, "myrrh, holy oil") + βλύζω (blúzō, "to gush, flow") + -της (-tēs, agent suffix). Unlike a "thaumaturge" (a worker of wonders in general) or a "relic" (the venerated physical remains themselves), a myroblyte is the sanctified source from which a specific, tangible benediction flows. It is the cool, amber bead swelling on a sun-bleached bone, the slick patina on a stone sarcophagus that smells of roses, and the slow, silent seep through the cracks of a sealed reliquary—a testament that holiness can seep into reality, a slow and fragrant leak from a realm beyond decay.
Etymology
