Think about an english word like drag, with several unrelated meanings:
Help me drag the tent over here.
This job is such a drag anymore.
Let me have a drag from your smoke, man.
etc.
Equally, in German, the word zug has many meanings:
1. a drag from a cigarette
2. a strong wind
3. a train
4. to pull
