slogged
Toiled through difficulty
Slogged is the past tense of slog, meaning to work or move with steady, effortful persistence.
The word suggests laborious progress rather than quick results: We slogged through the mud for hours, She slogged away at the report all weekend.
Whether physical trudging or grinding mental work, slogging implies determination against difficulty.
