    An early manuscript title for the Gospel of Matthew.

    Etymology

    [edit]

    Borrowed from Late Latin evangelium (“gospel; good news”), from Ancient Greek εὐαγγέλιον (euangélion, “good news; gospel”), from Ancient Greek εὐάγγελος (euángelos, “bringing good news”). εὐάγγελος (euángelos) is formed from εὖ (eû, “well, good”) + ἀγγέλλειν (angéllein, “to announce”), the infinitive of Ancient Greek ἀγγέλλω (angéllō, “to announce, report”). ἀγγέλλω (angéllō) is formed from Ancient Greek ἄγγελος (ángelos, “messenger”) + *-ϳω (*-jō, “verb-forming suffix”).

    The part εὖ (eû, “well, good”) is the adverbial use of the stem of ἐΰς (eǘs, “good”), from Proto-Hellenic *ehu- (“good”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁su- (“good”).

    The further origin of ἄγγελος (ángelos, “messenger”) is uncertain. It is probably a loanword, perhaps related to ἄγγᾰρος (ángăros, “Persian mounted courier”), and may ultimately be from Old Persian or another Asian language; a Proto-Semitic origin has also been proposed.

    Compare Norwegian Nynorsk evangelium, Danish evangelium, Swedish evangelium, German Evangelium, Dutch evangelie and English evangel (“gospel, good news”).
