belabours
Dwells on tediously
Belabours is the British spelling of belabors.
To belabour a point is to explain or argue it far beyond what's necessary, exhausting listeners with repetition: He belaboured the obvious until everyone tuned out.
The older sense—to beat or thrash someone—survives mainly in literary contexts.
