Morphology

newspaper + article

The meaning 'an article reporting news published in a newspaper' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'newspaper' (a printed news periodical) with 'article' (a written piece), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it. This noun–noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic nominal modification pattern and follows straightforward compositional semantics, making it immediately comprehensible.

Etymology

Newspaper article combines newspaper, a paper that prints 'news', and article, a short written piece. Long ago people read stories on folded paper pages, so a small written report in that paper became known as a newspaper article, and today it means a written report published in a newspaper.
