Answer

POUND

This versatile word has multiple meanings: a unit of weight in the imperial system, the basic monetary unit of the UK, a place where stray animals are kept, or the action of striking repeatedly. It comes from the Latin 'pondo' meaning weight, which is also why the British currency symbol is a stylized L for 'libra pondo' or pound weight.
