• Synonym重みおもみNeutralRefers to weight or a sense of heft, also the weight of words or an air of dignity; it stands alone, while 「重き」 mostly appears in 「重きを置く」.
• RelatedウェイトNeutralLoanword for weight or body weight, and also for ratios and priority, as in 「ウエイトを置く」; covers more ground than 「重き」.
• Related重さおもさNeutralPhysical weight, or how heavy something is; it rarely carries the sense of importance that 「重き」 has.
• Antonym軽きWrittenIts antonym: a literary form meaning lightness or lack of regard, seen chiefly in 「軽きに失する」; the direct opposite of 「重き」.

For degree of importance or emphasis, use 「重き」 — it almost only appears in 「重きを置く」 and 「重きをなす」. For weight or a sense of heft say 「重み」, for physical weight 「重さ」, and for weighting or priority 「ウエイト」.
