Morphology
fundagelical + belief
The noun 'belief' is transparent, but 'fundagelical' is a non‑standard, dictionary‑absent blend likely merging 'fundamental' and 'evangelical.' Because this is a creative portmanteau rather than a regular compositional pattern, a B1 learner who knows the source words might guess the intended sense (strict evangelical fundamentalism) but the form and exact nuance are not reliably predictable, making the overall phrase only partially transparent.
Etymology
Fundagelical belief is a blend of fundamental ('holding strict rules') and evangelical ('actively spreading the faith'), and it may come from the picture of someone who will not change their views and who pushes others to agree. That's why the phrase describes a strong set of religious beliefs that is not willing to change and that includes active efforts to win followers.
