What does UNLADE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicnautical
To take cargo back out of a ship, wagon or hold, undoing the work of loading it.
Unlade is an older word for unload, built from the archaic verb lade, meaning to load a ship or vehicle with cargo. It survives mainly in nautical and historical writing, where sailors unlade a vessel of its cargo at the end of a voyage, rather than in everyday descriptions of unpacking a car or suitcase. The word keeps a formal, slightly old-fashioned flavour that unload has largely lost.
