A quick definition of pound:

Term: POUND

Definition: A pound can mean different things. It can be a place where lost animals are kept until their owners come to get them. It can also be a unit of weight that is equal to 16 ounces. In the United Kingdom, it is also the name of their money, which is made up of 100 smaller units called pence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A pound can refer to:

  1. A place where impounded property is held until redeemed.
  2. A place for the detention of stray animals.
  3. A measure of weight equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces or 7,000 grains.
  4. The basic monetary unit of the United Kingdom, equal to 100 pence.

Examples:

  • If your car is towed, it may be taken to the pound until you pay to get it back.
  • If a dog is found wandering the streets without an owner, it may be taken to the pound until the owner is found.
  • A pound of flour weighs 16 ounces.
  • In the UK, you can buy a candy bar for one pound.
