The relation to the older word stelleer n., which rests ultimately on the sole authority of Cotgrave, is obscure.

A balance consisting of a lever with unequal arms, which moves on a fulcrum; the article to be weighed is suspended from the shorter arm, and a counterpoise is caused to slide upon the longer arm until equilibrium is produced, its place on this arm (which is notched or graduated) showing the weight: = Roman balance n. at Roman n.¹ and adj.¹ Compounds 4.
