They split into two root-meanings:

- New (Latin novus = “new”)
- novel
- novelty

- Ear (Latin auris = “ear”; auricula = “little ear”)
- aural (relating to the ear or hearing)
- auricle (the external ear; also an “ear-shaped” appendage in anatomy)
- auricular (relating to the ear)

(Note: your list had “aricular,” which looks like a typo for “auricular.”)
