miry
Full of mud
Miry means swampy, boggy, or full of mire—soft, wet ground that's difficult to walk through.
The word describes terrain that sucks at your boots: The miry path made progress slow.
Figuratively, miry suggests being stuck in something unpleasant or difficult to escape: miry depths of debt.
