Inertia is a commonly considered a property of mass. It is a measure of how difficult it is to accelerate (or decelerate) the object. Inertia is proportional to mass. Newton's use of the word is on the context of a principle. i.e. the principle of inertia is an object's inability to change its velocity (a vector) unless acted upon by an external force.
