Pounds lbs?
Why the hell is the British weight measure pound abbreviated to lbs
It’s from the Latin.
The origin is in the Latin word libra, which could mean both balance scales (hence the symbol for the astrological sign Libra, which was named after a constellation that was thought to resemble scales) and also a pound weight, for which the full expression was libra pondo, the second word being the origin of our pound.
