Where this word comes from

Medieval Latin; the meaning "chrism" is attested in the 12th century, apparently by corruption of Ancient Greek χρῖσμᾰ (khrîsmă), from χρίω (khríō, “to anoint”). The meaning "Christogram" is of uncertain origin; Millin (1817) suggests derivation from χρησμός (khrēsmós, “oracle”) specifically in the instance of the "Chrismon Sancti Ambrosii" (i.e. the "oracle of St. Ambrose), an ancient Chi-Rho symbol on a marble slab in Milan cathedral, from which the term chrismon would have been transferred to the Chi-Rho symbol in general.
