new

new
\ \ [OE] New goes back a long way – to Indo- European *newos, in fact. This also produced Greek néosnew’ (source of English neophyte and a range of other neo- compounds), Latin novusnew’ (ancestor of French nouveau, Italian nuovo, and Spanish nuevo, and source of English novel, novice, etc), Welsh newyddnew’, Lithuanian naujasnew’, and Russian novyj. Its prehistoric Germanic descendant was *neujaz, which has fanned out into German neu, Dutch nieuw, Swedish and Danish ny, and English new.
\ \ The use of the plural noun news for ‘information’ dates from the 15th century.
\ \ Cf.NEON, NOVEL, NOVICE
