Comes from the Latin Libra, which was a measure of weight. Thus Lb = pound and Lbs =pounds.

The word “pound” comes from the Latin word pendere, meaning “to weigh”. The Latin word libra means “scales, balances” and it also describes a Roman unit of mass similar to a pound. This is the origin of the abbreviation “lb” or “℔” for the pound. The “s” at the end of “lbs” simply denotes the plural form
