Little, Elbert L. (1994) [1980]. The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Trees: Western Region (Chanticleer Pressed.). Knopf. p.488. ISBN 0394507614. The word “carat” originates from the Middle Eastern practice of weighing precious gemstones against carob seeds as a measure of purity. If the gem weighed as much as one carob seed, it was then graded at 1 carat. The carat, a unit of mass for gemstones, and a measurement of purity for gold, takes its name via the Arabic qīrāṭ from the Greek name for the carob seed κεράτιον (lit. "small horn").
