laboriously

/ɫəˈbɔɹiəsɫi/ adv B1

with a lot of effort

Word Origin From Latin labor 'toil, work, hardship' — so laboriously means 'in a toilsome, hardworking manner.' The same root gives us laborer, collaborate (work together), elaborate (work out in detail), and belabor (to beat with words, overwork). The idea: when you do something laboriously, you're putting in serious effort, like a laborer in the fields.
