Etymology

Inherited from Old English godspell, *gōdspell, from gōd (“good”) + spell (“news”), calquing Ecclesiastical Latin bona annūntiātiō, itself a translation of Ecclesiastical Latin ēvangelium / Ancient Greek εὐαγγέλιον (euangélion, “evangel”, literally “good news”); thus equivalent to God or good + spel. See: Old English Nouns 'godspell', Old English Nouns 'godspell', Ancient Greek Nouns 'εὐαγγέλιον'.
