paper size
The standard paper sizes used in the British Isles and throughout much of the world (but not the USA) belong to the ‘A’ series. The biggest of the series is A0. A1 is half as big in area, A2 is half that, and so on.
This definition is abridged from A – Z of tree terms: A companion to British arboriculture.
