Waraqu

Waraqu (وراق) is an Arabic word that translates to "papers," "leaves," "sheets," or "folios" in English. The term refers generally to writing material made from cellulose pulp, typically used for writing, printing, or drawing. It can also refer to individual sheets of paper or a collection of papers. In historical contexts, particularly within Islamic manuscript studies, "waraqu" often describes the individual leaves that make up a codex.
