Why Is Lbs Short For Pounds? [Solved]

Wow! So, the “lb” actually comes from the Latin word for “pound,” huh? Cool!

Lbs stands for “pounds,” which is a unit of measurement for weight. It’s a shorthand way of saying “pounds” and is commonly used in everyday speech. So if you hear someone say, “I weigh 150 lbs,” they’re really saying they weigh 150 pounds.
