Etymology
The word is a nisba adjective formed from إِخْبار, the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَخْبَرَ, to inform. All derive from the triliteral Semitic root خ-ب-ر, which carries the sense of news, information, and knowledge. The suffix ـِيّ turns the noun into an adjective meaning related to news.
