🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

The correct reading はかどる is a Kun'yomi verb. 捗 (はかど) is the stem for 'to make progress'. すすどる is an incorrect reading, often confused with 進む (すすむ). とどこおる is an antonym, meaning 'to be delayed'. とる is an incomplete reading. It means to make smooth, steady progress in work or a task, or to proceed effectively.

日本語解説

正読は訓読みの動詞「はかどる」です。捗 (はかど) は「進行が順調に進む」を意味します。すすどるは誤読で、進むと混同されがちです。とどこおるは反対の意味で、とるは読みが不完全です。物事が順調に進み、成果が上がっていく様子を指します。
