Copy is a term for the words on a page/site. The writing. The sentences and the construction of their words, purportedly to advance whatever cause the page is trying to push.

I think it's a vestige from the days of the printing press.



It's also what's referred to by the word "copyright". IE, the rights to the copy (noun), not the right to copy (verb).
