What does TRUDGE mean?
TRUDGE (verb): to walk slowly and heavily, especially because of tiredness or a difficult path. Example: “They had to trudge through two feet of snow just to reach the bus stop.”
Similar: plod, slog, traipse, trek. Opposite: dash, skip, breeze.
Did you know? "Trudge" has been used in English since the 1500s, and its exact origin is unknown, which is unusual for such a common everyday verb.
Using TRUDGE in a sentence
TRUDGE nearly always comes with a direction or a surface attached: you trudge through snow, up a hill, along a towpath or back home. It works as a noun too, usually with long: 'It was a long trudge back to the car.' Compared with its synonyms, plod suggests a steady, unhurried pace and slog stresses hard effort, while trudge is about tired, heavy steps, which is why it suits mud, cold and the end of a long day. It also stretches to dull tasks: 'She trudged through two hundred pages of meeting minutes.'
How TRUDGE fits the puzzle
TRUDGE circles D and E, the D of DO and an E.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, "E-SEE" TO DO.
