Word origin

The word 'page' has a long history, dating back to Middle English, where it was derived from Old French 'page' (a servant attending to a knight) and Latin 'pagina' (a sheet of papyrus). Over time, the word evolved to refer to a printed sheet of paper and later to a digital screen displaying information.
