First usage
Our word came into English in the late 1700s
Background / Comments
In an English book, the recto is the right-hand page; always with an odd number. Note that in languages written from right to left (as Hebrew), the recto is the left-hand page (but still an odd-numbered page). Our word came from the Latin phrase recto folio (right-hand leaf), which came from rectus (right).
