Plodder
Does anyone know what that word means in Spanish?
It comes from a sentence that speaks about someone who learns with effeor, then a plodder, then average mental and brilliant exceptional. I can't seem to find it in the dictionary. Thanks a lot.

lento pero seguro
No estoy de acuerdo con la respuesta de Nira. La definición en inglés hace énfasis en avance lento, no en ser laborioso.
plod [plod]
intransitive verb (past and past participle plod·ded, present participle plod·ding, 3rd person present singular plods)
1. walk heavily: to walk with a slow heavy tread 2. work slowly but steadily: to work slowly but steadily, especially on something uninteresting or laborious

Estoy de acuerdo con Hugocar... lento pero perseverante, esa es la idea. Fijate en la segunda definición. Suerte!

Thanks everyone. Because of the sentence and the form that I'm trying to translate and also because of where the word 'Plodder' is being used, I believe it is referring to someone who is intently trying to accomplish something but slowly. Thanks again. This really helps.
