The abbreviation "oz" stands for "ounce," which originates from the Latin term "uncia," meaning one-twelfth. The ounce is a unit of weight used in various systems, including the imperial and U.S. customary systems. Its usage has evolved over centuries, adapting to different measurement needs in trade and cooking. Thus, "oz" has become the standard shorthand for this unit of measurement.
