hi,
1.The word "news" comes from a special use of the plural of the word "new" ,and from the four cardinal directions (north, east, west, and south).

2. i'm not sure about the second one maybe we can say "a good pay person".

All the best,

Hi dear DavyBCN, yes that is right,but i think Trustworthy is a general concept "reliable person" in each case not only financial.what we call a person that he is reliable in financial issue?
