Etymology[edit]

Initially from Middle Chinese 重力 (MC drjowngX lik, literally “considerable; heavy + force, power”).

The gravity sense was a repurposing of the older term (the considerable strength sense) as a calque of Dutch zwaartekracht[1][2] to translate Dutch works as part of Rangaku studies.
