As such, load is a doublet of lode, which has preserved the older meaning.\nMost likely, the semantic extension of the Middle English substantive arose by conflation with the (etymologically unrelated) verb lade; however, Middle English lode occurs only as a substantive; the transitive verb load (“to charge with a load”) is recorded only in the 16th century (frequently in Shakespeare),\nand (except for the participle laden) has largely supplanted lade in modern English.", "Acronym of living online all day." ], "typelist": [ { "name": "Noun", "meanlist": [ { "mean": "A burden; a weight to be carried.\nI struggled up the hill with the heavy load in my rucksack." }, { "mean": "(figuratively) A worry or concern to be endured, especially in the phrase a load off one's mind." }, { "mean": "A certain number of articles or quantity of material that can be transported or processed at one time.\nThe truck overturned while carrying a full load of oil.\nShe put another load of clothes in the washing machine." }, { "mean": "A quantity of washing put into a washing machine for a wash cycle.\nI put a load on before we left." }, { "mean": "(in combination) Used to form nouns that indicate a large quantity, often corresponding to the capacity of a vehicle" }, { "mean": "(often in the plural, colloquial) A large number or amount.\nSynonyms: see Thesaurus:lot\nI got loads of presents for my birthday!\nI got a load of emails about that." }, { "mean": "The volume of work required to be performed.\nWill our web servers be able to cope with that load?" }, { "mean": "(engineering) The force exerted on a structural component such as a beam, girder, cable etc.\nEach of the cross-members must withstand a tensile load of 1,000 newtons." }, { "mean": "(electrical engineering) The electrical current or power delivered by a device.\nI'm worried that the load on that transformer will be too high." }, { "mean": "(engineering) A resistive force encountered by a prime mover when performing work." }, { "mean": "(electrical engineering) Any component that draws current or power from an electrical circuit.\nConnect a second 24-ohm load across the power supply's output terminals." }, { "mean": "A unit of measure for various quantities." }, { "mean": "The viral load" }, { "mean": "A very small explosive inserted as a gag into a cigarette or cigar." }, { "mean": "The charge of powder for a firearm." }, { "mean": "(obsolete) Weight or violence of blows." }, { "mean": "(vulgar, slang) The contents (e.g. semen) of an ejaculation." }, { "mean": "(euphemistic) Nonsense; rubbish.\nWhat a load!" }, { "mean": "(computing) The process of loading something, i.e. transferring it into memory or over a network, etc.\nAll of those uncompressed images are going to slow down the page load." }, { "mean": "(Philippines) prepaid phone credit" } ] }, { "name": "Verb", "meanlist": [ { "mean": "(transitive) To put a load on or in (a means of conveyance or a place of storage).\nThe dock workers refused to load the ship." }, { "mean": "(transitive) To place in or on a conveyance or a place of storage.\nThe longshoremen loaded the cargo quickly.\nHe loaded his stuff into his storage locker." }, { "mean": "(intransitive) To put a load on something.\nThe truck was supposed to leave at dawn, but in fact we spent all morning loading." }, { "mean": "(intransitive) To receive a load.\nThe truck is designed to load easily." }, { "mean": "(intransitive) To be placed into storage or conveyance.\nThe containers load quickly and easily." }, { "mean": "(transitive) To fill (a firearm or artillery) with munition.\nI pulled the trigger, but nothing happened.
