English [edit]
Etymology [edit]
From Middle English cristente, from Old French crestiente, from Medieval Latin stem of christianitas, from Latin christianus, Christianus, from Ancient Greek Χριστιανός (Christianos), from Χριστός (Christos, “Christ, anointed one”) + -ιανός (-ianos, “of, related to”). The term was respelled in the early modern English period to more closely reflect its Latin etymon. Its form is equivalent to Christian + -ity.
Pronunciation [edit]
