WHAT DOES FOLIO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Folio

The term "folio", from the Latin folium, has three interconnected but distinct meanings in the world of books and printing. It is firstly a term for a common method of arranging sheets of paper into book form, folding the sheet only once, and a term for a book made in this way. Secondly it is a general term for a sheet, leaf or page in manuscripts and old books, and thirdly an approximate term for the size of a book, and for a book of this size. Firstly a folio is a book or pamphlet made up of one or more full sheets of paper, on each of which four pages of text are printed, two on each side; each sheet is then folded once to produce two leaves. Each leaf of a folio book thus is one half the size of the original sheet. Ordinarily, additional printed folio sheets would be inserted inside one another to form a group or "gathering" of leaves prior to binding the book. Secondly "folio" is used in terms of page numbering for some books and most manuscripts that are bound...
