What does FOLIO mean in Scrabble?
noun
printing
A large sheet of paper folded once to form two leaves of a book, or a book printed in this format; also the number printed on a page to mark its place in a sequence.
A book classed as a folio is made from full sheets folded only once, giving it the largest and most impressive size among traditional book formats, larger than a quarto or an octavo. Printers and librarians also use folio for the running page number itself, so a manuscript missing a folio is simply missing that numbered leaf. In older bookkeeping, folio referred to a page in a ledger, sometimes counted as a pair of facing pages sharing one number. Antique folio editions of Shakespeare or early scientific works are especially prized by collectors for their size and rarity.
How FOLIO is used
Used in publishing and bibliography for both the book format and the page number, and historically in bookkeeping for a ledger page.
