From Old High German 'hladan', related to the English word 'load'. The vowel shift from 'a' to 'ä' in the third-person singular present is a common pattern for strong verbs.

Think of 'laden' as 'to load'. The vowel change to 'ä' for 'he/she/it' is a key pattern to remember, just like in 'fahren' -> 'fährt'.
