OP The word measure, even if we limit ourselves to the noun, has many facets. Clearly, a scientist mainly uses it in the sense of "quantification of a phenomenon", i.e. value-free. In other circles, it is used to describe actions taken to change something: "draconian measures". I would like to hear from various quarters, what other uses of the word spring to your mind, and what you think are the original viz. the derived meanings..
