How Evangelical
Surface Forms
Morphology
evangelistic = evangelist (transparent) = evangel + ist + ic
Formed from 'evangelist' + '-ic'; the adjective directly relates to preaching and spreading the gospel and a learner who knows 'evangelist' will readily infer this meaning.
Etymology
Evangelistic comes from the Greek word euangelion, which means 'good news' and is the same idea behind the word gospel. So evangelistic originally meant spreading the 'good news' of Christianity, which is why it describes preaching and the spread of the Christian gospel.
