English Explanation

苦労 (くろう) means 'hardship, trouble'. Both 苦 (く) and 労 (ろう) are common On'yomi. ぐろう incorrectly voices 苦, くろ omits the long vowel, and くろる adds an incorrect verb ending. It refers to difficulties, struggles, or toil experienced.

日本語解説

苦労 (くろう) は「困難や辛い経験」を意味します。苦 (く) と 労 (ろう) はともに一般的な音読みです。ぐろうは苦の濁音化、くろは長音を省略、くろるは語尾の追加が誤りです。苦しいことや骨の折れる経験を指します。
