Word origin
Built inside Esperanto from nova (new) plus the suffix -aĵ-, which turns a quality into a concrete thing. A novaĵo is literally a new thing, hence a piece of news.

Examples
?
Have you heard the news?
.
I read the news in the newspaper.
.
He has good news for us.
Take and bolt on --, the suffix that makes a quality into a thing, and you get "a new thing". English "news" is an uncountable mass; is a countable item, so one headline is and the day's bulletin is . The same machine gives o (food, an eat-thing) and o (a drink), which is why -- earns its own page.
