Etymology of TROY POUND

The term "troy pound" dates back to the medieval period and is associated with the city of Troyes in France. The city was a major trading center during the Middle Ages and was renowned for its fair, where various goods, including metals and fabrics, were weighed and traded.

The measurement system used by the Troyes fair was commonly known as "Troy weight". It was distinct from other systems of weights and measures used in different parts of Europe during that period. The Troy system had its origins in the Roman Empire, but it became more standardized and widely used in Troyes.

The word "troy" itself is derived from the French name for Troyes, "Troie" (pronounced "twah"). Over time, the term "troy" came to be associated with any weight or measurement system connected to the city of Troyes.
