Morphology

evangelistic + approach

The phrase simply combines 'evangelistic' (energetically promoting a cause) with 'approach' (a method or strategy), so its meaning — a passionate or persuasive method of promoting something — follows directly from the constituents. The adjective+noun composition is transparent and predictable, making the phrase understandable to learners who know both words.

Etymology

Evangelistic approach comes from the word evangelist, a church speaker who shares the 'good news' with strong feeling and energy. That's why today the phrase means using a very passionate way to try to convince people about an idea or cause.
