The word 'recto', meaning either the right-hand page of an open book, or the front of a loose document, comes to us from the Latin recto folio, 'on the right leaf', and is contrasted with 'verso' (Latin 'verso folio' - 'on the left leaf') for the left-hand page, the back of a single document, or even the back (or 'reverse' - also from the related Latin 'revers' - 'turn back') side of something else.
