The word "paper" has its origins in the Latin word "papyrus," which described the Egyptian reed plant used to make an early form of paper. Over time, the word evolved to refer to the material itself.
The earliest form of paper was "papyrus" (of which the term "paper" is derived). The Egyptians used to take papyrus reeds, cut out the inner pith into strips about 40 cm in length, and then lay them next to each other, overlapping with adjacent strips. They would soak the mass in water, and then they would hammer the entire mass, causing it to form a large sheet. After letting it dry, they would have a paper-like sheet that could be rolled into scrolls.
This tall plant is called the papayrus, discovered by the egyptians. From papyrus we get the word paper.
