Morphology
evangelicalism = evangelical (semi-transparent) = evangel + ical + ism
The suffix '-ism' regularly forms nouns naming movements or doctrines from adjectives, so 'evangelicalism' transparently denotes the movement/doctrine of 'evangelical'.
Etymology
Evangelicalism comes from the Greek word euangelion, meaning 'good news' or 'gospel', and it shares the same root as evangelist. So evangelicalism is the movement that focuses on sharing that 'good news' about Jesus, which is why it stresses personal faith, becoming a believer, and telling others.
