multi-sheet
|mul-ti-sheet|
/ˌmʌltiˈʃiːt/
many sheets
Etymology
'multi-sheet' is formed from the prefix 'multi-' (from Latin 'multus', meaning 'many') combined with the English noun 'sheet'.
'multi-' comes from Latin 'multus' ('many'); 'sheet' comes from Old English 'scēat' (or 'sceat') and Proto-Germanic *skautaz, which developed into the modern English word 'sheet'. The compound 'multi-sheet' is a modern descriptive formation using the productive prefix 'multi-'.
Originally each element meant 'many' and 'sheet' respectively; together the compound straightforwardly denotes 'many sheets' and has remained a literal descriptive term rather than undergoing major semantic shift.
