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].
