Etymology
تَحْمِيل is the verbal noun of حَمَّلَ, the Form II (doubled, causative) pattern built on the Semitic root ح م ل, which carries the core sense of bearing or carrying a weight. The doubling of the middle root letter turns the basic idea of carrying into a causative one: making something be loaded or carried. Modern Arabic then extended this physical sense of loading cargo to the digital sense of loading data, which is why the same word now means both loading a truck and downloading a file.
