Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from 'newspaper', combining 'news' (from Middle English, plural of new) and 'paper' (from Old French 'paper', via Latin 'papyrus'), and 'clipping', from the verb 'clip' meaning to cut or snip with shears, originating from Old Norse 'klippa'. The compound term emerged in the 19th century with the widespread growth of journalism to describe an article or section physically cut out from a printed newspaper.
