Definition
A trademark name for an automatic grease gun or lubricating device, now sometimes used generically for similar equipment.
Etymology
Derived from a brand name 'Alemite,' possibly from an alchemical or symbolic origin, used as a trademark in the early 20th century for industrial lubrication equipment.
Kelly Says
Alemite is a 'genericized trademark'—like 'Kleenex' for tissues—so successful that people forget it's a brand name and call all grease guns 'alemites'!
