lode

== English == === Etymology === Doublet of load, which has however become semantically restricted. The now-archaic lode continues the old sense of Old English lād (“way, course, journey”) but by the 19th century survived only dialectally in the sense of “watercourse”, as a technical term in mining, and in the compounds lodestone, lodestar. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ləʊd/ (General American) IPA(key): /loʊd/ (General Australian) IPA(key): /ləʉd/ Rhymes: -əʊd Homophones: load, lowed === Noun === lode (plural lodes) (obsolete) A way or path; a road.
