Why Is It Called 1 Pound? [Solved]

Wow! The pound has been around for centuries. It’s derived from the Latin word “poundus” meaning “weight,” and its symbol is an ornate L in Libra. In Anglo-Saxon England, it was a unit of currency as far back as 775AD, worth one pound weight of silver - a huge amount of money back then!
