Learned borrowing from Latin foliātus (“having leaves, leafy, leaved”) (see -ate (adjective-forming suffix)), a participial adjective derived from folium (“leaf; (Late Latin) leaf or sheet of paper”) + -ātus (participial adjective-forming suffix) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bhleh3- (“blossom, flower”) or *dhelh1- (“to be green”)).

From a substantivation of the above adjective. Equivalent to folia + -ate (noun-forming suffix).

From Latin folium (“leaf”) + -ate (verb-forming suffix) (more at etymology 1)
