A person or machine that puts cargo, supplies, or material into a container, vehicle, or holder; also used in computing for software that loads programs.
From the verb 'load' (Old English 'hlad,' meaning to put cargo on a ship) with the suffix '-er' meaning 'one who does.' The word has been in English for over a thousand years and easily adapted to modern contexts like computing.
The word 'loader' shows how English verbs stay flexible—it originally meant dock workers loading ships, but the same '-er' suffix lets us talk about computers loading files, making the word bridge ancient trade and modern technology.
