nuevo
Not viejo, Spanish
Nuevo is Spanish for new.
In English it appears mainly in place names like Nuevo León and Nuevo Laredo, or in phrases borrowed from Spanish: Tex-Mex cuisine nuevo suggests a modern take on traditional food.
The word signals Spanish-language influence or a Latin American connection.
