libra
Latin weight unit
Libra is a unit of weight in ancient Rome, the ancestor of the modern pound—which is why pound is abbreviated "lb." The word survives mainly in two contexts: as the seventh sign of the zodiac, represented by scales, and as a former monetary unit in various countries.
A Libra is someone born under that sign, roughly late September to late October.
