Where it comes from

From Medieval Latin paginare, from Latin pagina.

verb paginates · paginating · paginated

  1. transitive To number the pages of (a book or other document); to foliate. Each table is now paginated. That makes it straightforward if you wish to print a few pages of a long table by entering the page numbers required into the printer file.
  2. transitive To divide (a continuous stream of text) into pages. Word-processing applications are designed to automatically paginate a continuous flow of text, and this require additional capabilities such as page breaks and image-positioning for some control over page layout. However, this makes tasks such as laying out a double- page magazine spread very diffic
  3. transitive To separate (data) into batches, so that it can be retrieved with a number of smaller requests.
