Etymology

The word 'page' originated from the Latin word 'pagina', which referred to a sheet of paper or a leaf of a book. It has been used in English since the late 14th century to denote the written or printed material in a book, as well as to describe the physical leaf of a book. Over time, with the development of printing and publishing, 'page' became a standard unit of measurement for the content in books and other printed materials. In the digital age, 'page' also took on the meaning of a unit of content on the internet, representing a single document or screenful of information.
