Root Breakdown
Root-derivedFrom Latin pāgina, first 'a row of vines fastened to a trellis,' then 'a fixed column of writing on a sheet,' then simply a page. The 'fixed flat surface' idea is why a web page is also a 'page.' The verb 'to page someone' is unrelated in origin (from 'page' = a young servant who carried messages).
