What does SEXTO mean in Scrabble?
noun
printing
A book size made by folding each printed sheet into six leaves.
A sexto sits among the traditional printing terms that describe book sizes according to how the original sheet of paper was folded, alongside folio, quarto and octavo. Printers used the word sexto to specify a particular page size and proportion before modern paper sizing became standard. Because the fold produces twelve pages from one sheet, a sexto tends to be a compact size compared with a folio or quarto edition. Bibliographers still use sexto when cataloguing old books to describe their physical format precisely.
