reload
UK: /ˌriːˈləʊd/ | US: /ˌriːˈloʊd/
vt. to load again (e.g., a weapon, software, or data)
vi. to be loaded again
The word "reload" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the root "load" (from Old English "lād," meaning "way, journey," later evolving to mean "burden" or "cargo"). The prefix "re-" implies repetition, while "load" retains its core meaning of placing or carrying something. Together, they logically form "to load again," reflecting actions like refilling a gun or refreshing digital content.
