Meaning and Origin
A ream is a standard unit of measurement for paper, typically defined as 500 sheets of a specific size and weight.
The origin of the ream as a unit of measure is unclear, but it is believed to have been adopted by papermakers in Europe during the 15th century. The number 500 may have been chosen for its convenience in handling and counting large quantities of paper.
In addition to its use as a unit of paper measurement, the word "ream" can also be used more generally to refer to a large quantity or bundle of items, such as a "ream of data" or a "ream of letters."
