Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the late Middle English word 'noveltie', coming from Old French 'novelté', which ultimately traces back to the Latin 'novellitas', meaning 'newness'. This derives from the adjective 'novus', meaning 'new'. Over time, the term shifted to describe not just the abstract quality of being new, but also small manufactured items of unusual or clever design.
