laden
Heavy with cargo
Laden means heavily loaded or weighed down.
A ship laden with cargo sits low in the water.
The word often appears in compounds: oil-laden tankers, debt-laden companies, guilt-laden confessions.
Laden typically suggests burden rather than mere fullness—a laden table groans under its weight, while trees laden with fruit bend their branches.
