Load,
burden referred originally to something placed on a person or animal or put into a vehicle for conveyance. Both
load and
burden are still used in this literal sense, though
burden only infrequently, except in such fixed phrases as
beast of burden and
a ship of 1500 tons burden (carrying capacity). Both words have come to be used figuratively to refer to duties, cares, etc., that are oppressively heavy, and this is now the main meaning of
burden :
You have taken a load off my mind. Some children are a burden.
