"The latin novellus was taken into Italian as novella and from the thirteenth century had been used as a noun for 'tale, fable, narrative'. In the sixteenth century, English needed a literary term for a short narrative dealing with local events that were humorous, political, or amorous in nature. This need was met when the Italian novella was borrowed as novel." -- Webster's Dictionary of Word Origins.
