الوزن: معرفة قدر الشيء. يقال: وزنته وزنا وزنة، والمتعارف في الوزن عند العامة: ما يقدر بالقسط والقبان. وقوله: وزنوا بالقسطاس المستقيم
الواو والزاء والنون: بناء يدل على تعديل واستقامة: ووزنت الشيء وزنا. والزنة قدر وزن الشيء ; والأصل وزنة. ويقال: قام ميزان النهار، إذا انتصف النهار. وهذا يوازن ذلك، أي هو محاذيه. ووزين الرأي: معتدله. وهو راجح الوزن، إذا نسبوه إلى رجاحة الرأي وشدة العقل.
