An orphan refers to a single word, line, or very short paragraph that appears at the beginning or end of a column or page, separated from the rest of the text. Orphans disrupt the visual flow and readability of the text, creating awkward spacing and visual inconsistency. Orphans are similar to widows, but not the same.
