Etymology

Inherited from Old French fueille, from Late Latin folia, plural of folium in Classical Latin, itself probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰolh₃yom (“leaf”), from *bʰleh₃- (“blossom, flower”). Doublet of folio, which was borrowed from Latin. Compare English foil, Spanish hoja, Portuguese folha, Catalan fulla, and Italian foglia.
