A sheet of paper with content that can be clipped or cut out for use, distribution, or publication.
From 'clip' (to cut with scissors or fasteners) + 'sheet' (a piece of paper). Commonly used in media and publicity contexts from the early 20th century onward.
Before the internet, PR companies would send clipsheets to newspapers—ready-made articles that editors could literally cut and paste into their publications. It was the original copy-paste!
