Gazette
A gazette is a newspaper. In the governments of Commonwealth countries a gazette is more specifically an official government paper that publishes all new laws and government decisions.
The word comes from gazet , a Venetian coin that was the cost of early many Italian newspapers and became a name for the papers themselves. This word was borrowed into English to also describe a newspaper. The word came to be used for an official government paper with the creation of the London Gazette in 1665.
