A Latin or medieval ecclesiastical term for a book containing the gospels, used in Christian church services.
From Latin 'evangeliarium,' formed from 'evangelium' (gospel) plus the suffix '-arium' (place or thing related to). This was the official ecclesiastical Latin term used in medieval and Renaissance church tradition.
This word shows Latin's influence on religious English—the '-arium' suffix created words for specific things, like 'aquarium' (water place) and 'sanitarium' (health place).
