Unit of weight equal to one sixteenth of a pound (5)

I believe the answer is:

ounce

(Other definitions for ounce that I've seen before include "There are quite a few in the pound" , "Carnivore" , "Weight; big cat" , "A light weight - feline" , "Small amount (of old pound)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Independent.
