foliate

Etymology

A learned borrowing from Latin foliātus (“having leaves, leafy, leaved”) (see -ate, the adjective-forming suffix), a participial adjective formed from folium (“leaf; (Late Latin) leaf or sheet of paper”) plus -ātus (the participial adjective-forming suffix), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleh₃- (“blossom, flower”) or *dʰelh₁- (“to be green”).
