The origins of the word lie in Old English (the language of the Anglo Saxons up to about 1150)

Gospel: Old English gōdspel, from gōd [good] + spel [news, a story], translating ecclesiastical Latin bona annuntiatio or bonus nuntius, used to gloss ecclesiastical Latin evangelium, from Greek euangelion 'good news'; after the vowel was shortened in Old English , the first syllable was mistaken for god[God.]
