It seemed obvious to me, I was just surprised I haven't seen it put together. And, I wondered if there was a reason. Thanks for the input.

Hi, Lauren,
 
Aren't both words cognates of AGGELOS ("message")? A great source for cognates is Trenchard's Complete Vocabulary Guide to the Greek New Testament, which lists 22 cognates of AGGELOS on page 5. The book is fairly inexpensive (under $20 new, and far less if it's used). ISBN-13: 9780310226956. In addition to cognates, the book also lists every word in the GNT (in order of frequency) plus the principal parts of every verb in the GNT.

 
In your examples, "gospel" just adds the prefix "EU" ("good" thus "good announcement") and EPAGGELIA adds the prefix "EPI" ("over," etc.) to somehow create "I promise." But perhaps you were looking for something else in your question?

LSJ is a relatively comprehensive Greek lexicon.

but never mind, their definition is extremely short:

Sorry, I don't know what LSJ is.  (and on top of it, I realize I misspelled etymology...
Thanks for responding,
