Ceride

Cerîde is derived from the Arabic root c-r-d (جرد), which in Arabic means "to strip off, to remove the bark, to shed leaves." The word cerīde (جَرِيدَة) that entered Turkish evolved from the meaning "stripped branch, splinter" to "palm branch or leaf or skin layer used for writing," eventually acquiring the sense of "leaf" and "writing surface." The word is the feminine form of the active participle (faʿīle(t), فَعِيلَة) of the verb carada (جَرَدَ).
