**Gospel** → It originates from the Old English *godspel*, which is a combination of "god" (meaning good) and "spel" (meaning news or story). The word 'gospel' refers to the good news or story, particularly in a religious context.

Memory Tip

Think of 'good news' — 'god' means good, and 'spel' means story. This helps you remember that a gospel is a story that brings good news.
