folion.adj.

Brit.

/ˈfəʊlɪəʊ/, U.S.

/ˈfoʊlioʊ/

Forms: Also 1600s follio.

Etymology: < Latin foliō, ablative of folium leaf. Branch I proceeds from the medieval Latin use of the ablative in references, though in sense A. 2 the word may be < Italian foglio . In branch II the phrase in folio is either < Latin or a refashioning of the Italian in foglio . Compare the use of in folio in French both in sense A. 5b and as n. = sense A. 7.

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.
