Its root in the classical dictionaries

الحمل معنى واحد اعتبر في أشياء كثيرة، فسوي بين لفظه في فعل، وفرق بين كثير منها في مصادرها، فقيل في الأثقال المحمولة في الظاهر كالشيء المحمول على الظهر: حمل.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالي: ﴿وتضع كل ذات حمل حملها﴾ [الحج:2] يعني لشدة الهول تضع الحوامل. والحمل ما كان في نطن حيوان من الأجنة أو علي رأس شجرة. وبالكسر ما كان علي ظهر لقوله: ﴿وإن تدع مثقلة إلي حملها لا يحمل منه شيء﴾ [فاطر: 18].
