'sulfide' changed from the Latin word 'sulfur' and eventually became the modern English word 'sulfide.' 'Laden' transformed from the Old English word 'hladen' and eventually became the modern English word 'laden.'
Initially, 'sulfide' meant 'a compound of sulfur,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage. 'Laden' initially meant 'to load or burden,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
