Quarter (US)

The quarter (US) is a unit of mass used in the United States, primarily in agriculture. It is equal to 25 pounds or approximately 11.34 kilograms. The quarter is part of the U.S. customary system and is used to measure bulk commodities like grain.

Origin:

The quarter originated in medieval England as a unit of mass for measuring grain and other agricultural products. It was defined as 1/4 of a hundredweight, or 25 pounds. The term "quarter" comes from the Latin word "quartarius", meaning "fourth part". The quarter was used in trade and agriculture for centuries and was adopted in the United States as part of the U.S. customary system.

Stone (UK)

The stone (st) is a unit of mass used primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland to measure body weight. It is defined as 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kilograms. The stone is still commonly used in the UK for personal weight, especially in everyday contexts like medical and fitness settings.

Origin:

The stone has ancient origins, dating back to the medieval period. Historically, the weight of a stone varied depending on the commodity being measured, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds. For example, in England, the stone was used to measure wool, and different types of goods had their own stone weights. In 1300, a standardized 14-pound stone was adopted for use in the wool trade. Over time, this 14-pound definition became the standard, and the stone was widely used in the UK for measuring body weight, a tradition that continues today.
