Lucid Lexicon

gravity

circa 1500, "weight, dignity, seriousness, solemnity of deportment or character, importance"

from Old French gravité "seriousness, thoughtfulness"
from Latin gravitatem (nominative gravitas) "weight, heaviness, pressure"
from gravis "heavy"
from PIE root *gwere- "heavy"

gravity noun
  • dignity or sobriety of bearing, importance, significance
  • a serious situation or problem
  • weight
  • the gravitational attraction of the mass of the earth, the moon, or a planet for bodies at or near its surface

gravitation seems to be a more appropriate term for what is often referred to as gravity (sense of "gravitational attraction").
