This is a term you'd most likely hear in a grocery story, especially at the deli and meat counter as they're weighing out product.  They have to make allowance for the containers or wrapping paper they're using during the weighing process.

The ultimate origin is Arabic țarha (that which is removed).

Love this word. Will find a use for it soon.

Also, that cat is my hero. My record on a balance disk is two seconds.
