what gravity insists you have and bathroom scales love to argue about.
means How heavy something is — the force gravity exerts on a mass — or, figuratively, the importance or burden a thing carries.
from From Old English 'wiht' or 'gewiht,' meaning heaviness, tied to the verb 'wegan' — to weigh, to carry, to move. That same root branches out across the Germanic languages (German 'wiegen,' 'Gewicht') and is a cousin of Latin 'vehere,' to carry, which gives us 'vehicle' and 'convey.' So at heart, weight is bound up with the idea of bearing something — whether on a scale or on your shoulders. The silent 'gh' is a fossil: it once marked a throaty sound, now long gone but still squatting in the spelling.
