Etymology: < new adj. + testament n., after post-classical Latin novum testamentum (Vulgate in sense A. 1, early 5th cent. in Jerome in sense A. 2) and (in later biblical translations) its model Hellenistic Greek καινὴ διαθήκη. Compare slightly later Old Testament n.In Old English the Latin novum testamentum is usually rendered by sēo nīwe (ge)cȳðnes, lit. ‘the new knowledge, the new testimony’.
