TARE AND TRET , in commerce, allowances or deductions. Tare is an
allowance
  made from the
gross
 
weight
  of goods for the box, bag or other wrapping in which the goods are packed. It may be real, i.e. representing the actual
weight
  of the wrap-ping; customary, when a uniform or established
rate
  is allowed;
average
 , when one or two packages among several are weighed, and the mean or
average
  of the whole taken; or super-tare, an additional
allowance
  when the package exceeds a certain weight. Tret is an allowance of 4 lb. in every 104 lb. of weight, made as compensation for loss by
waste
 . " Tare " comes through the Fr. tare, cf. Sp. tars, from Arab. tarha, tarh, throwing, castingthe word meant originally loss, that which is thrown away; " tret " is an
adaptation
  of Fr. traite, Lat. trahere, to draw, and meant a
