An angel is a supernatural being or spirit found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks. The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spirits found in many other religious traditions. The theological study of angels is known as "angelology. In art, angels are often depicted with bird-like wings on their back, a halo, robes and various forms of glowing light.The word angel in English is a blend of Old English engel (with a hard g) and Old French angele.[5] Both derive from Late Latin angelus messenger of God, which in turn was borrowed from Late Greek ἄγγελος ángelos. According to R. S. P. Beekes, ángelos itself may be an Oriental loan, like ἄγγαρος ['Persian mounted courier']. The word's earliest form is Mycenaean a-ke-ro attested in Linear B syllabic script.
