Oprindelse

Ordet ounce stammer fra det gamle latinske ord uncia, som betyder en tyvendedel eller en del. Dette blev derefter lånt ind i det gamle franske sprog som unze, og senere blev det engelske ord ounce dannet. Ordet henviser til en enhed af vægt, der oprindeligt var baseret på en tolvtedel af et romersk pund eller ca. 28,35 gram i det moderne system af målinger.
