verb

Etymology: From Medieval Latin paginare, from Latin pagina.

  1. 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. 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 difficult.

  3. To separate (data) into batches, so that it can be retrieved with a number of smaller requests.
