CHARGE (through the Fr. from the Late Lat. carricare, to load in a carrus or wagon; cf. " cargo ")

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 859 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHARGE (through the Fr. from the Late Lat. carricare, to load in a carrus or wagon; cf. " cargo ") , a load; from this, its
primary
  meaning, also seen in the word " charger," a large dish, come the uses of the word for the powder and shot to load a fire-arm, the
accumulation
  of electricity in a battery, the necessary quantity of dynamite or other explosive in
blasting
 , and a device borne on an escutcheon in heraldry. " Charge " can thus mean a burden, and so a care or duty laid upon one, as in " to be in charge " of another. With a transference to that which
lays
  such a duty on another, " charge " is used of the instructions given by a judge to a jury, or by a
bishop
  to the clergy of his diocese. In the
special
  sense of a pecuniary burden the word is used of the price of goods, of an encumbrance on property, and of the expenses of running a business. Further uses of the word are of the violent, rushing attack of cavalry, or of a
bull
  or elephant, or football player; hence " charger " is a
horse
  ridden in a charge, or more loosely a
horse
  ridden by an officer, whether of infantry or cavalry.
