-mo \-mo\
A suffix added to the names of certain numerals or to the
numerals themselves, to indicate the number of leaves made by
folding a sheet of paper; as, sixteenmo or 16mo; eighteenmo
or 18mo. It is taken from the Latin forms similarly used; as,
duodecimo, sextodecimo, etc. A small circle, placed after the
number and near its top, is often used for -mo; as, 16[deg],
18[deg], etc.
