Another term for evangelicalism; the beliefs, practices, or movement of evangelical Christianity.
From 'evangelic' plus the suffix '-ism' (a system or doctrine), creating an alternative form to 'evangelicalism.' Both forms were used historically to name this religious movement.
English likes to have multiple synonyms for important concepts, so 'evangelicism' and 'evangelicalism' coexist, though '-alism' became the dominant choice.
