A unit of force in physics equal to the weight of one pound-mass under standard gravity, also called pound-force.
From 'gee' (gravitational acceleration) plus 'pound' (unit of mass), creating a hybrid scientific term used in engineering to distinguish mass from force.
Engineers invented 'geepound' to solve a real problem: in imperial units, you need different names for mass-pounds and force-pounds, so they grabbed 'gee' (gravity) to make a technically distinct term.
