The word "newspaper" is a straightforward compound of "news" (from Middle English newes, meaning "new things" or "reports") and "paper" (from Latin papyrus, via Old French papier). The term emerged in the 17th century when printed sheets containing current events became widespread. "News" originally implied plural novelty, while "paper" referred to the physical medium. The combination reflects the product’s function: timely information distributed on sheets.
