Etymology

Pictogram (象形): a person (人) with a large head (𦣻, an old form of 首).

The original meaning was "head." The character was later borrowed for the word "page, sheet, leaf" (in a book), which had previously been written 葉. The character retains its original meaning in compounds like 頭 "head," 頸 "neck," etc.
