- 1枝葉、葉子（一整片葉子的總稱，不是單片）
Foliage is the leaves of a plant, especially the whole mass of them together rather than one single leaf. and writers like the word: dense foliage, autumn foliage. You would not usually say a foliage for one leaf — that is a leaf. It can be living and green, or cut branches used to a room. It sounds a bit more “nature book” than leaves. Though actually, shops also sell fake foliage: plastic leaves for display. Uncountable in normal use — thick foliage, not three foliages.
From the word’s history
From Middle French feuillage; the spelling later influenced by Latin folium 'leaf'.
源自中古法文 feuillage，拼法後來受拉丁文 folium「葉子」影響。
組成From older English foilage, from Middle French feuillage (leaves). The later spelling was pulled toward Latin folium (leaf).
