Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When the ancient Romans referred to weight, they used the term libra pondo. Libra meant “weight” or “balance scales, ‘’ and pondo meant “pound.” They eventually shortened the phrase to just libra, which they abbreviated “lb."
Detailed explanation-2: -lb is the correct abbreviation to be used both as singular as well as plural. This means that one can make use of the suffix even when talking about several pounds, and there is no need to make use of lbs that is rather incorrect though it has become quite common among people.
