Ounce

The ounce (oz) is a unit of mass or weight used in both the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.3495 grams. The ounce is commonly used to measure small quantities of food, beverages, and precious metals.

Origin:

The ounce traces its origins to ancient Roman times, where it was based on the uncia, which was 1/12 of a Roman pound (libra). The term "ounce" comes from the Latin "uncia", meaning one-twelfth. In medieval Europe, the ounce evolved as a standardized unit of weight, especially in trade. By the 14th century, the Avoirdupois ounce became the standard for most goods in England, which is equivalent to about 28.35 grams. This measurement was later adopted in the United States and other countries using the imperial system.

Quintal

The quintal is a unit of mass used in some countries, primarily in trade and agriculture. It is equal to 100 kilograms (kg) in most countries that use the metric system. In the U.S., however, the quintal is sometimes referred to as 100 pounds (approximately 45.36 kilograms) and is used in certain industries, particularly in agriculture.

Origin:

The term quintal comes from the Latin word "centum", meaning "hundred," and historically referred to a weight of around 100 kilograms. It was used in medieval Europe for measuring bulk commodities like grain, and the weight of the quintal varied by region and commodity. Over time, the quintal became standardized to 100 kilograms in most countries that adopted the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries. It continues to be used in international trade and agriculture, especially in countries like India, Brazil, and some European countries.
