Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin adjective novicius meaning 'new, newly imported', formed from Latin novus meaning 'new'. Entering English via Old French in the 14th century, it initially referred strictly to a person newly entered into a religious order before broadening to denote anyone new to a field or activity.
