| One
theory is that "news" was developed as a special use of the plural form
of "new" in the 14th century. In Middle English, the equivalent word was
newes, based on the French nouvelles. A similar development is
found in at least three Slavic languages (Czech, Slovak and Polish),
where there exists a word noviny ("news"), developed from the word nový
("new"). Another theory is that the word news, phonetically and its
written style, is based upon the Germanic word "neues"... and folk
etymology suggests that news is an acronym of the cardinal directions:
north, east, west, and south. |
