Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French raime, based on Arabic rizma 'bundle'.

The term ream for 500 sheets of paper goes back ultimately to Arabic rizma ‘bundle’. In the later 16th century it came to mean a large quantity of paper, without reference to the specific number of sheets—in 1814 Sir Walter Scott referred to ‘whole reams of modern plays’. In turn this gave us the general use of reams of to mean ‘a large quantity of’, which is found from the beginning of the 20th century.
