'page' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'pagina', where 'pagina' meant 'a page or written sheet (a column, page of writing)'.

'page' changed from Latin 'pagina' into Old French 'page' (also Middle English 'page') and eventually became the modern English word 'page'.

Initially it meant 'a written sheet or column,' and over time it evolved into the modern English sense of 'a leaf of a book' and extended uses (e.g., web page).
