5. Etymology: Before 1382, newes, "new things", in the Wycliffe Bible; plural of earlier new, newe, "new thing". It apparently came from French nouvelles, used in Bible translations to render Medieval Latin (Latin as written and spoken c.700-c.1500) nova as "news"; literally, "new things".

Inexpensive paper made from wood pulp and which is used primarily for printing newspapers: "Newsprint is produced at very high machine speeds, which causes the fibers of the sheet to be very directional; however, the fact that the majority of the fibers are oriented in one direction is actually an advantage from the point of view of printing, because it helps the paper take the strain of the highspeed press runs, and, from the point of view of production, runability is the most important characteristic in newsprint."

Other important characteristics of newsprint include:

• Smoothness, which is the controlling factor for halftone fineness in all direct-printing methods.
• Softness, which is especially important in newsprint because the image carrier forces the ink into the pores of the paper during impression.
• Opacity, which is important in all lightweight paper and particularly so in newspaper relief printing where the ink does not remain on the surface but is forced deep into the paper.
• Brightness, or whiteness, which is important because it contributes to good contrast between ink and paper in black-and-white printing and is of great importance in full-color printing.

"The mechanical pulp in newsprint adds the desired properties of high opacity, smooth surface, and high oil (ink) absorption, while the chemical pulp adds the necessary strength required to run the paper through fast rotary presses without breaking."

"The high percentage of mechanical pulp in newsprint, which makes it very satisfactory for newspaper printing, makes it unsatisfactory from the point of view of permanence."

5. Etymology: "new, strange, unusual"; from Middle French novel, "new, fresh, recent"; from French nouveau, nouvelle; from Old French, which came from Latin novellus, "new, young, recent"; diminutive of novus "new".

The meaning of "fictitious narrative" came from Italian novella, "short story"; but originally it meant "new story" from Latin novella, "new things" based on Middle French novelle, then French nouvelle, a form of novellus.
