Although most people recognize that Latin is a "dead language" and therefore cannot have new words in it, the fact is that Latin continued to be the official language of the Roman Catholic Church until well into the 20th Century. The Church found it necessary to develop new words to deal with things such as telephone, radio, automobile, and many other aspects of modern life. This was easier to do because many of those modern aspects were described by terms in other languages that had been invented using Latin or Greek roots.
So Latin does have many new words, but if you are learning Classical Latin in school you are unlikely to encounter them, or to need to know them.
