The word “Meshullam” and “Shalem” (Salem) are very similar.  The have similar meaning complete, safe, at peace, Whole.

 

The Greek word “Catholic” have similar meaning “Whole’, “All”  from the Greek word ὅλος

holos: whole, complete

** you do not have permission to see this link **

 

Greek word ὅλος Together with the preposition κατα (** you do not have permission to see this link **), meaning down from, down upon: the adverb καθολου (katholou), meaning “unto wholeness” or “in general” or “universal”; it expresses a motion or intent toward a state of wholeness or inclusivity.

From this adverb comes the noun and adjective καθολικος (katholikos), meaning general (hence our English word “catholic”).

“Evangelizing” is an interesting word .   The Gospel is called “Euaggelion” in Greek which means  “good news”.

 

In Arabic it is “Injil”  similar to “Euaggelion”.
