Etimology of Kerygma

(You may find kerygma at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).

preaching, 1879, from Greek kerygma “proclamation, that which is cried by a herald, public notice,” used in the Greek New Testament for “preaching,” from keryssein “to proclaim, to cry (as a herald),” from or related to keryx “herald, messenger,” a word of uncertain origin, perhaps from PIE root *kar- (2) “to praise loudly,” but Beekes says probably pre-Greek.
