Etymology
The term 'loadable' is derived from the verb 'load', which comes from the Old English 'ladian', meaning to carry or bring a load. The suffix '-able' is added to form an adjective that indicates a capacity or suitability for a specified action. The combination has been widely used in computing contexts since the second half of the 20th century, especially with the rise of software development and digital technologies. As computers became more integrated into various industries, the need for loadable components like software libraries, plugins, and modules increased, making the term more relevant.
