Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German īnladen, from Old High German inladōn, inladēn, from in- + ladōn, ladēn (“to invite”), from Proto-Germanic *laþōną (“to invite”). The originally weak verb -laden in einladen and vorladen is unrelated to laden (“to load”), but was early on conflated with the latter.
