Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de anglès mitjà: congregacioun

Cognat amb grec antic: ἐκκλησία

Cognat amb llatí: ecclēsia

In summary

From Middle English congregacioun, from Old French congregacion, from Latin congregātiō, itself from congregō (“to herd into a flock”). Adopted (1520s) by the English Bible translator William Tyndale, to render the Ancient Greek ἐκκλησία (ekklēsía, “those called together, (popular) meeting”) (hence Latin ecclēsia) in his New Testament, and preferred by 16th century Reformers instead of church.
