new (used to distinguish something recent from something already existing)
Etymology
From dialectal Dutchnuw, alternative form of nieuw derived from the inflected stem of Middle Dutchnie, nuwe, from Old Dutchniuwi, from Proto-Germanic*niwjaz. The predicative form nuut is from Middle Dutchnuwt, which may originally have been a neuter declension form, but whose generalization (in many southern dialects of Dutch) was at least reinforced by the inflectional parallelism oud, ouwe (“old”) vis-à-vis nuut, nuwe (“new”).
