loaded
UK: ˈləʊdɪd | US: ˈloʊdɪd
adj. filled with a large amount of something
adj. (slang) wealthy or intoxicated
adj. (of dice or weapons) altered to cheat or deceive
The word "loaded" originates from the Old English "hlād," meaning "burden" or "weight," combined with the suffix "-ed," which forms past participles or adjectives. Over time, it evolved to describe anything filled or weighted, later expanding metaphorically to mean "wealthy" (as if "filled" with money) or "intoxicated" (as if "weighed down" by alcohol). In gaming contexts, "loaded" refers to tampered dice or weapons, emphasizing the idea of being unfairly "weighted."
