Surely portfolio has its roots in portare (L. to carry) and folium (L. leaf)?
- Yeah! I'd say that you're right: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=portfolio&searchmode=none 24.21.191.92 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:32, 18 September 2011 (UTC).
Under Types/attache, the word "scrunched" doesn't make any sense in this context. Was "stretched" meant? 98.206.85.29 (talk) 15:54, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Shape - historical
When I was first carrying a briefcase in the 1960s, its shape in cross-section was roughly triangular, similar to a gladstone bag; this was then the commonest shape. An attaché case (as described in the article) was a distinct item. I feel this should go in the lead, but am not sure quite how to resolve the historical/current issue (are triangular bags still carried? are they still called briefcases?), and a bit of googling tended to only bring up luggage companies and forums, not reliable sources. Hoping for help... --D Anthony Patriarche, BSc (talk) 17:40, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
