Morphology

latest = latest (transparent) = late + est

As a noun, it is simply the adjective 'latest' used substantively, with no further semantic shift.

Etymology

Latest as a noun comes from the same parts: late ('after') and -est ('most'). So when people say 'the latest' they mean 'the most recent thing', like the newest news.
