How the two words are related
Cognate
Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.
Arabic root
ح-د-ثHebrew root
ח-ד-שSame root as ḥadīth, 'modern, new' (already in this app) — Arabic th regularly matches Hebrew ש, so ح-د-ث is exactly Hebrew ח-ד-ש. Taḥdīth, 'update, renewal', is what you do to make something ḥadīth again. Modern Hebrew's own word for a software update, עדכון, took a different root — but חידוש, 'renewal, innovation', is the precise cognate hiding one word over.
