The gospel or good news in Latin; a religious text or teaching of the Christian gospel.
Direct from Latin 'evangelium,' borrowed from Greek 'euangelion' (good news). Used in medieval Latin texts and liturgical contexts to refer to the gospels.
Latin 'evangelium' is the source of English 'gospel'—but while 'gospel' came through Old English's 'godspel,' 'evangelium' took the direct Greek-to-Latin path, showing how the same root traveled different linguistic roads!
