Morphology
The meaning 'the most recent information' is directly and predictably composed from 'latest' (newest, up-to-date) + 'news' (information about events). This adjective+noun composition is common across languages and follows a transparent compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
The phrase latest news comes from the image of a messenger bringing the newest stories to people in the street. Latest means what arrived most recently and news are new events, so together they mean 'the most recent information'.
