From 'Gatha' (Avestan word meaning 'song' or 'hymn') plus the adjective suffix '-ic.' The Gathas are the oldest parts of the Avesta, the Zoroastrian scripture, written in Old Avestan language.
The Gathic texts are the oldest writings we have from any religion—written over 2,500 years ago—and they contain some of the earliest concepts of good versus evil that later influenced Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
