Etymology
A4 comes from an international paper system where A names the series and 4 shows how many times the sheet has been cut in 'half' from the largest size A0, which is 'one square metre'. So A4 is the fourth size in that series and is the common standard sheet for letters and documents, measuring 210 by 297 millimetres.
