Ounce

Ounce, a unit of measurement commonly used for both weight and volume, is a unit of weight and volume in the English and US customary systems of measurement. It is abbreviated as "oz".

The ounce is an ancient unit, dating back to ancient Rome. Its name comes from the Latin word "uncia", meaning "one-twelfth". This is because the Roman pound was divided into 12 ounces.
