Confirmed.
Late 16th century from Greek ephēmeros (see ephemera) + -al. https://www.lexico.com/definition/ephemeral

could someone please explain when μία gets accented here? In a different question, διαβάζουν μια εφημερίδα, DIDN'T get an accent...?

Thanks for your response. Duo told me I had a typo and shouldn't have accented it in the example where there were no words ahead of the 'they read'.

the indefinite article a and the numerical article one =
ένας, μια and μία, ένα (masc, fem.neut)
"μία" is the feminine number "one" while "μια" is the feminine article "a/an". As you would expect they are most often used interchangeably by native speakers and we accept them both on all sentences on Duolingo. For this sentence I would prefer..."μια". If you ever take a very important Greek exam you might want to be careful.
