'broadsheet' originates from English, specifically the words 'broad' and 'sheet', where 'broad' meant 'wide' and 'sheet' referred to a large piece of paper.

'broadsheet' changed from the English word 'broadside', which referred to a large sheet of paper printed on one side, and eventually became the modern English word 'broadsheet'.

Initially, it meant 'a large sheet of paper printed on one side', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a large-format newspaper'.
