Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish foja, from Late Latin folia, from the nominative plural of Latin folium, probably from Proto-Indo-European *bʰolh₃yom (“leaf”), from *bʰleh₃- (“blossom, flower”). See also folio, borrowed from the Latin. Cognate with English foil and French feuille (“sheet, leaf”).
