Morphology

evangelism = evangelize (semi-transparent) = evangel + ize + ism

The form is regular, but the modern sense is a metaphorical extension from religious evangelism to enthusiastic promotion of a product or idea.

Etymology

Evangelism comes from Greek parts eu- 'good' and angelion 'message', which gives the clear image of 'sharing good news'. That's why in technology and business evangelism means enthusiastic promotion of a product or idea to encourage people to try it.
