Small printed papers or pamphlets, often folded, that contain information and are distributed to many people.
From Middle English 'leef' (leaf) plus the diminutive suffix '-let,' meaning small leaf; evolved to describe pages of printed material that were thought to resemble small leaves.
Before the internet, leaflets were the primary way to spread information quickly—imagine being able to hand 1,000 people a message about an event or cause in a single afternoon, which is why they became symbols of grassroots movements and protests.
