Reply to comment by 420trashcan in The FBI raided a notable journalist's home. Rolling Stone didn't tell readers why by SellingCoach

actually it's spelled that way so as not to confuse it with "lead", as in the metal. In the days of lead type, extra space between lines would be added by inserting thin strips of lead. So you could say "Put 4 extra points of lead after the lede".

Actually lede is a made-up word used to trick students.
