Evangelic or evangelical means "to be rooted in the gospels" from the or (from εὖ eu, "good" + ἀγγελία angelía, "message"). This is the core meaning in theology that can be found in terms like the Evangelical Counsels. "Evangelical" can also be the adjective to Evangelicalism. As this has become the common meaning in English by now, evangelic (from , or ) is often used for the original meaning. This makes the use of the adjective "evangelical" rather confusing if the context is unknown.
