释义 | folion.adj. A. n. I. With reference to pagination. 1. A leaf of paper, parchment, etc. (either loose as one of a series, or in a bound volume) which is numbered only on the front.In the early instances the word may have been regarded as Latin. The front and back of the leaf were referred to as (folio) recto and verso; these words became English as nouns.
