novedad
/nobeˈdad/ · B1 · noun · f
novelty
🆕 novedad = nov- (new, as in novel) + -edad (-ty): new-ness, novelty
From Latin novitas, from novus 'new'. Same root as English novel, novice and renovate. The Spanish suffix -dad matches English -ty, so novedad lines up with novelty. In everyday Spanish it often means a piece of news: ¿Alguna novedad? means Any news?
