Question: what is the latin root of the word apostle?
Answer: The term apostle is derived from Classical Greek ἀπόστολος (apóstolos), meaning "one who is sent off", from στέλλειν ("stellein"), "to send" + από (apó), "off, away from". ... The more general meaning of the word is translated into Latin as missiō, and from this word we get missionary.
