Did you hear the latest nonnews from that celebrity?

Root Explanation

Nonnews → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "news" (from Old English *news*, meaning new information or reports). The word "nonnews" refers to information that is not new or not considered newsworthy.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'news' meaning 'new information' — so nonnews is information that is not new.
