核心畫面
Take the word apart first: charge plus -able, 'this can be charged'. The loose picture that holds all of it together is something being put onto something else — a cost onto your bill, power into a battery, a crime onto a person's name. The adjective then says only that the move is possible. So the real work of reading this word is done by the noun beside it: the noun tells you what is being put on, and that is what decides the meaning.

先把字拆開：charge 加 -able，也就是「可以被 charge」。把幾個用法串起來的，可以想成一個很鬆的動作：有樣東西被放到另一樣東西上面——費用放到你的帳單上，電放進電池裡，罪名放到一個人頭上。這個形容詞只負責說「這件事做得到」。所以真正決定意思的，是旁邊那個名詞：名詞告訴你被放上去的是什麼。From the word’s history
Wiktionary's etymology tree for this word runs Latin carrus, then carricō / Late Latin carricāre, then Old French chargier, into Middle English and English charge. The packet gives the chain of forms without glossing them, so the shared picture above is drawn from how the modern word behaves, not claimed as the meaning of the Latin.
來源資料的詞源樹顯示這條路線：拉丁文 carrus，接著 carricō／晚期拉丁文 carricāre，再到古法文 chargier，然後進入中古英文和英文的 charge。資料只給了形式，沒有解釋每一層的意思。所以上面那個「把東西放上去」的畫面，是從現在的用法歸納出來的模型，不是在替拉丁文下定義。
