news

== English == === Alternative forms === newes (obsolete) === Etymology === From Middle English newes, newys (“new things”), equivalent to new (noun) +‎ -s (plural suffix). Compare Saterland Frisian Näis (“news”), East Frisian näjs (“news”), West Frisian nijs (“news”), Dutch nieuws (“news”), German Low German Neeis (“new things; news”), though, unlike the English word, those cognates originated as genitives, not as plurals. Sometimes erroneously claimed to be an acronym of "North, East, West, South" or "Noteworthy Events, Weather, Sports". (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) enPR: nyo͞oz, IPA(key): /njuːz/ (General American) IPA(key): /nuːz/, [nɪu̯z] (General American, yod-dropping) IPA(key): /nuz/ (North India) IPA(key): /n(j)uz/, (affricated) /n(j)udʒ/ (South India) IPA(key): /njus/, [ɲus] Homophones: gnus, nus (in some dialects) Hyphenation: news Rhymes: -uːz === Noun === news (uncountable) New information of interest.
