'Messiah' originates from Hebrew, specifically the word 'māšīaḥ,' where 'māšīaḥ' meant 'anointed one.'

'māšīaḥ' transformed into the Greek word 'Messias,' and eventually became the modern English word 'Messiah' through Latin.

Initially, it meant 'anointed one,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'savior or deliverer.'
