English Explanation

こうちゃく combines the on'yomi of 膠 (こう) and 着 (ちゃく). こうしやく misreads 着 as しゃく, and ごうちゃく misreads 膠. It describes a state of being stuck or unmoving, often a deadlock or stalemate in a situation.

日本語解説

「膠着」は膠(こう)と着(ちゃく)の音読みです。膠(こう)をごう、着(ちゃく)をしゃくと誤読しやすいです。物事が動きを止め、進展しない状態や、固くくっつくことを意味します。
