Sheets in books
Pages are the individual leaves of a book, magazine, or document, or one side of such a leaf.
Page numbers help locate information: Turn to page 47.
The word extends to screens of digital content: a web page, a landing page.
A page is also a young attendant, especially one employed to run errands in a hotel or legislative body.
To page someone is to summon them, originally by calling their name aloud, now typically through an electronic device: The doctor was paged to the emergency room.
To page through something is to flip through its pages.
