page

/paʒ/

noun, feminine/paʒ/plural: pages

page is feminine in French.

page (of a book, etc.); page, web page

Inherited from Old French page, a borrowing from Latin pāgina (“page, strip of papyrus fastened to others”).

noun, masculine/paʒ/plural: pages

page is masculine in French.

page, page boy

From Old French page, possibly via Italian paggio, from Late Latin pagius (“servant”), probably from Ancient Greek παιδίον (paidíon, “boy, lad”), from παῖς (paîs, “child”); some sources consider this unlikely and suggest instead Latin pagus (“countryside”), in sense of "boy from the rural regions".
