  Weight \Weight\, n. [OE. weght, wight, AS. gewiht; akin to D.
     gewigt, G. gewicht, Icel. v[ae]tt, Sw. vigt, Dan. v[ae]gt.
     See Weigh, v. t.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. The quality of being heavy; that property of bodies by
        which they tend toward the center of the earth; the effect
        of gravitative force, especially when expressed in certain
        units or standards, as pounds, grams, etc.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Weight differs from gravity in being the effect of
           gravity, or the downward pressure of a body under the
           influence of gravity; hence, it constitutes a measure
           of the force of gravity, and being the resultant of all
           the forces exerted by gravity upon the different
           particles of the body, it is proportional to the
           quantity of matter in the body.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. The quantity of heaviness; comparative tendency to the
        center of the earth; the quantity of matter as estimated
        by the balance, or expressed numerically with reference to
        some standard unit; as, a mass of stone having the weight
        of five hundred pounds.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              For sorrow, like a heavy-hanging bell,
              Once set on ringing, with his own weight goes.
                                                    --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Hence, pressure; burden; as, the weight of care or
        business. ``The weight of this said time.'' --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              For the public all this weight he bears. --Milton.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              [He] who singly bore the world's sad weight.
                                                    --Keble.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     4. Importance; power; influence; efficacy; consequence;
        moment; impressiveness; as, a consideration of vast
        weight.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              In such a point of weight, so near mine honor.
                                                    --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     5. A scale, or graduated standard, of heaviness; a mode of
        estimating weight; as, avoirdupois weight; troy weight;
        apothecaries' weight.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     6. A ponderous mass; something heavy; as, a clock weight; a
        paper weight.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              A man leapeth better with weights in his hands.
                                                    --Bacon.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     7. A definite mass of iron, lead, brass, or other metal, to
        be used for ascertaining the weight of other bodies; as,
        an ounce weight.

     Syn: Ponderousness; gravity; heaviness; pressure; burden;
          load; importance; power; influence; efficacy;

/ˈweɪt/



From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  WEIGHT. A quality in natural bodies, by which they tend towards the centre 
  of the earth. 
       2. Under the article Measure, (q.v.) it is said that by the 
  constitution congress possesses the power "to fix the standard of weights 
  and measures," and that this power has not been exercised. 
       3. The weights now generally used in the United States, are the same as 
  those of England; they are of two kinds: 
  
                   1. AVOIRDUPOIS WEIGHT. 
    1st. Used in almost all commercial transactions, and in the common 
  dealings of life. 
   27 1/3 1/2 grains  =    1 dram 
   16 drams           =    1 ounce 
   16 ounces          =    1 pound, (lb.) 
   28 pounds          =    1 quarter, (qr.) 
   4 quarters         =    1 hundred weight, (cwt.) 
   20 hundred weight  =    1 ton. 
  
   2d. Used for meat and fish. 
   8 pounds           =    1 stone 
  
   3d. Used in the wool trade. 
                                       Cwt. qr.  lb. 
   7 pounds           =    1 clove 14 pounds           =    1 stone  =   0    
  0   14 
   2 stones           =    1 tod    =   0    1    0 
   6 1/2 tods         =    1 wey    =   1    2   14 
   2 weys             =    1 sack   =   3    1    0 12 sacks            =    1 
  last   =  39    0    0 
  
   4th. Used for butter and cheese. 
   8 pounds           =    1 clove 
   56 pounds          =    1 firkin. 
  
                       2. TROY WEIGHT. 
   24 grams           =    1 pennyweight 
   20 pennyweights    =    1 ounce 
   12 ounces          =    1 pound. 
  
       4. These are the denominations of troy weight, when used for weighing 
  gold, silver and precious stones, except diamonds. Troy weight is also used 
  by apothecaries in compounding medicines; and by them the ounce is divided 
  into eight drams, and the drain into three scruples, so that the latter is 
  equal to twenty grains. For scientific purposes, the grain only is used, and 
  sets of weights are constructed in decimal progression, from 10,000 grains 
  downward to one-hundredth of a grain. The caret, used for weighing diamonds, 
  is three and one-sixth grains. 
       5. A short account of the French weights and measures is given under 
  the article Measure.
