Etymology

From Old French page, possibly via Italian paggio, from Medieval Latin pagius (“servant”), probably from Ancient Greek παιδίον (paidíon, “boy, lad”), from παῖς (paîs, “child”); some sources consider this unlikely and suggest instead Latin pagus (“countryside”), in sense of "boy from the rural regions". Used in English from the 13th century onwards.

  6. A track along which pallets carrying newly molded bricks are conveyed to the hack.
  7. (dated) A message sent to someone's pager.
    • Before he could bring it down, the pager clipped to his belt went off. […] If you were a lawyer or a business executive, maybe you could afford to ignore your pages for a while, but when you were a County Sheriff—and one who was elected rather than appointed—there wasn't much question about priorities. 1991, Stephen King, Needful Things, page 355:
    • Woman, why don't you be answering any of my pages? 1995, Amy Heckerling, Clueless, spoken by Murray (Donald Faison):
  8. Any one of several species of colorful South American moths of the genus Urania.
