A suggestion. Since most of your words are out of the ordinary, it stands to reason that many are also difficult to pronounce. It would help if you added a link to how the word is pronounced! Take today's word for example : I have only a vague understanding of how to pronounce sabretache!
Re the etymology of 'news' one of my teachers said years ago it was formed from the initial letters of the 4 cardinal directions, North East West South, conveying the meaning 'information from all over'. Is there any support for this?

re: definition of "tic":
the meaning "persistent behavior trait" is missing from your explanations.
