(v. t.) A ponderous mass; something heavy; as, a clock weight; a paper weight.
(v. t.) A definite mass of iron, lead, brass, or other metal, to be used for ascertaining the weight of other bodies; as, an ounce weight.
(v. t.) The resistance against which a machine acts, as opposed to the power which moves it.
(v. t.) To load with a weight or weights; to load down; to make heavy; to attach weights to; as, to weight a horse or a jockey at a race; to weight a whip handle.
(v. t.) To assign a weight to; to express by a number the probable accuracy of, as an observation. See Weight of observations, under Weight.
