You may know that the Greek word for “gospel,” “euangelion,” translates into English as “good news,” “good message,” or “good announcement.” The prefix “eu,” comes directly into English, as seen in words like eulogy and euphemisms. A eulogy is a kind word spoken in memory of someone who has just passed away. A euphemism is a term that makes something sound better than it is. So “euangelion” is “gospel,” meaning “good news.”
