hi

late 14c., plural of new (n.) "new thing," from new (http://www.saudienglish.net/index.php?term=new) (adj.),

"news," lit. "new things."

The News in the Virginia city Newport News is said to derive from the name of one of its founders, William Newce.


hope the answer is correct

thank you brother^^

I think pink-pen won

late 14c., plural of new (n.) "new thing," from new (adj.), q.v.; after Fr. nouvelles, used in Bible translations to render M.L. nova (neut. pl.) "news," lit. "new things." Sometimes still regarded as plural, 17c.-19c. Meaning "tidings" is early 15c. The News in the Virginia city Newport News is said to derive from the name of one of its founders, William Newce.
