weighting

/ˈweɪtɪŋ/ noun

The weight or significance given to something, sometimes by means of a statistical multiplier.

Word Origin Weight comes from the idea of carrying — the PIE root *wegh- 'to transport, go' gave us weigh and weight. Weighting means adding weight or assigning importance. The same root gives us wagon (a vehicle that carries), way (a path for going), and weigh (to lift and measure). So weighting is literally 'giving heft' to something.

noun The weight or significance given to something, sometimes by means of a statistical multiplier. countable
