What is the definition of absolute weight?

This is a real engineering question on the test.

Weight of a body considered apart from all modifying influences such as the atmosphere. To determine its absolute weight, the body must, therefore, be weighed in a vacuum or allowance must be made for buoyancy.
I would believe this to be...DEAD WIEGHT.
