Word: multiloader Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From multiload + -er or multi- + loader. 1. A piece of software that multiloads. Labels: dated Example: The other game in the package is the official adventure of the film The Neverending Story.

So that’s what we try to do, make them strobilate faster."
