Jrnl. 18 June, Some fine sport was enjoyed; but the salmon on two or three occasions made a rush into the lade and escaped. ¶2. A n. lade, with a sense ‘channel, watercourse, mouth of a river’, has been evolved by etymologists from place-names in which the last element is -lade (OE. ᵹelád channel, as in Creccaᵹelád Cricklade); the interpretation has been suggested by lade v. The word was admitted into Bailey's and Johnson's Dicts., and has occasionally been used in literature.

[Com. Teut. str. vb.: OE. hladan (hlód, ᵹehladen), corresp. to OFris. hlada, OS. hladan (Du. laden), ON. hlaða (Sw. ladda); with consonant-ablaut the word appears in OHG. hladan (G. laden), Goth. (af)hlaþan:—OTeut. *hlaþ-, hlað-:—pre-Teut. *klat-, parallel with *klad- in OSl. klasti to place. The general Teut. senses are those represented by branch I; branch II is peculiar to Eng., but OS. has the sense ‘to put (liquor) into a vessel’, as a particular application of a sense similar to 2 below. Another derivative of the root is MHG. luot burden, mass, multitude:—OTeut. *hlôþâ; in the OE. hlóð booty, multitude, OLG. hlótha booty, this type seems to have coalesced with OTeut. *hlanþâ. The pa. tense has from 15th c. been conjugated weak. The pa. pple. is still usually strong when used in the senses of branch I; in those of branch II it is now always weak.] I. To load. 1. trans. To put the cargo on board (a ship). Also (now only in pass.) to load (a vehicle, a beast of burden).
