Metric weight LA Times Crossword Clue Answer
Let’s find the answers to Metric weight LA Times for the July 23, 2024 edition of LA Times crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 4 letters. Start with D and end with M, and the possible solutions are DERM, DOUM, DRAM.
The answer is DRAM.
The clue “Metric weight” with the answer “DRAM” might seem confusing at first glance since “dram” is a unit of weight in the Imperial system, not the Metric system. Historically, a dram is a small unit used primarily in the Apothecaries' system and British Imperial measures, equivalent to 1/16 of an ounce or approximately 1.772 grams.
In contrast, the Metric system uses grams and kilograms as its primary units of weight. This clue plays on the misconception that “dram” could relate to the Metric system due to its somewhat obscure nature and historical context. The choice of “DRAM” might be intended to mislead solvers into thinking of a unit related to modern measurement systems, but it actually refers to a historical weight measure.
