tidings
Word that's arrived
Tidings is news or information, typically about events of significance.
The word sounds old-fashioned or literary in modern usage, appearing most often in set phrases: glad tidings, tidings of great joy.
Outside religious or deliberately archaic contexts, news has largely replaced it: What tidings do you bring from the front?
