+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|novus|-ō|t1=new]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Wiktionary takes it back to [[itc-pro|*nowāō]] and a factitive [[ine-pro|*néweh₂ti|t=makes new]].^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|novus]] to [[m|itc-pro|*nowo-]] and [[m|ine-pro|*neuo-|t=new, young]].^(de Vaan 2008) The verb has an exact counterpart in [[hit|nēu̯ahh-i|t=to renew]], and [[grc|νεάω|tr=neáō|t=to plough fallow land]] is a parallel formation from the same adjective.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Its first examples in the OLD are in Lucretius, of the earth warmed by the sun renewing its offspring and of the sum of things always being renewed.^(OLD 2012)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to make or devise something new, as Cicero's newly coined word, and to renew by replacing, replenish.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It also means to exchange for something different, as Virgil's Fortune changing her faith, and in law to replace an obligation by a new one by stipulation.^(OLD 2012) It is to alter, give a new form to, and ''res novare'' is to make changes in the state, usually revolutionary ones.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Other senses are to restore as new, revive or refresh, as Cicero's mind refreshed by laughter, and to resume or renew an activity or a feeling, as Livy's renewed shout.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) English ''novate'' (1610s) is from its participle.^(Etymonline)
