angel
English
Pronunciation
- enPR: ?n?j?l, IPA(key): /?e?n.d??l/
Etymology 1
From Middle English angel, aungel, ængel, engel, from Anglo-Norman angele, angle and Old English æn?el, en?el, en??el (“angel, messenger”), from Proto-West Germanic *angil, borrowed from Latin angelus, itself from Ancient Greek ??????? (ángelos, “messenger”). The religious sense of the Greek word first appeared in the Septuagint as a translation of the Hebrew word ????????? (mal???, “messenger”) or ???? ???????? (mal??? YHWH, “messenger of YHWH”).
Use of the term in some churches to refer to a church official derives from interpreting the "angels" of the Seven churches of Asia in Revelation as being bishops or ministers rather than angelic beings.
