Gram
A unit of weight in the metric system. One gram is equal to about .035 ounces. This means that you need 28.3 grams to get one ounce. To help understand that better, there are 16 ounces in one pound. That means that you need 453.36 grams just to get one pound! In the past, gram was commonly abbreviated as "gm." The preferred abbreviation today for gram is "g." Gram comes from the Latin word "gramma," meaning "small weight."
