Evangelian

/ɪvænˈdʒɛliən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of the gospels or evangelical Christianity.

Etymology

From 'evangel' plus the suffix '-ian' (relating to or belonging to), creating a descriptive term similar to 'reptilian' or 'utopian.'

Kelly Says

This word is so archaic that most dictionaries don't include it anymore—it's a linguistic fossil from when English had more Latin-style religious terminology.
