These are the news!

It's late, and this is a bit of trivia that everyone I know seems to think is obvious, but it only just hit me recently. So meeehhhhh to them.

The word "news" started out life in the 14th centurty as a pluarlised form of "new" - literally meaning "the new things". Strange how we now treat it as singluar.
