When weighing a liquid or gas and some granular or unwieldy solids, we usually put them into a container. Then we need to subtract (deduct) the weight of the empty container from the combined weight of the container and the substance whose weight we wish to know.
Some babies are weighed by weighing the mother, then weighing the mother when she's holding the baby, and deducting the weight of the mother.... in this case the mother is the baby's "container".
