To load (fabrics) as with barite, to increase the weight, etc.

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.

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.

Hence, pressure; burden; as, the weight of care or business.

Importance; power; influence; efficacy; consequence; moment; impressiveness; as, a consideration of vast weight.

A ponderous mass; something heavy; as, a clock weight; a paper weight.

A definite mass of iron, lead, brass, or other metal, to be used for ascertaining the weight of other bodies; as, an ounce weight.

The resistance against which a machine acts, as opposed to the power which moves it.

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.

To load down; to make heavy.

The heaviness of a thing when weighed, or the amount which anything weighs: the force with which a body is attracted to the earth, measured by the mass into the acceleration: a mass of metal adjusted to a standard and used for finding weight: anything heavy: a ponderous mass: pressure: importance: power: impressiveness.

Heaviness; a heavy mass: mass used as a standard of weight: pressure; importance.
