'just arrived' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can occasionally mean the same thing.

'northeast brown shot' is the wordplay.
'northeast' becomes 'NE' (abbreviation).
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'brown' anagrammed gives 'wborn'.
'ne'+'wborn'='NEWBORN'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newborn that I've seen before include "Young baby" , "Recently given birth to" , "Recently delivered" , "Just entered the world" , "Neonate" .)
