Morphology
evangelism = evangelize (transparent) = evangel + ize + ism
The word is regularly built from 'evangelize' plus '-ism', and the religious sense follows the source meaning of preaching the gospel.
Etymology
Evangelism comes from Greek parts eu- 'good' and angelion 'message' or 'news', so it originally meant sharing the 'good news'. That's why evangelism now means enthusiastic preaching of the Christian gospel.
