Root Explanation
**Newspaper** → It is formed from "new" (from Old English *niwe*, meaning recent or fresh) and "paper" (from Latin *papyrus*, meaning a writing material made from the papyrus plant). The word "newspaper" refers to a publication that provides fresh news and information on various topics.
Memory Tip
Think of something that is 'recent' ('new') printed on 'writing material' ('paper') — that's why a newspaper is a source of fresh news.
