Definition of belabor

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

verb

  1. (US, alt-of)US spelling of belabour.
    “He makes a valuable beginning […]; but whether out of an uncertain sense of audience or because of his own relation to the subject, rather too much space is devoted to belaboring the obvious, especially in regard to basic matters of how literary narrative work.”
    “In terms of the overall story of the finale, it’s smart how much emphasis the episode puts on the juice in the portal gun, as that’s going to be a major factor in “Rickmurai Jack;” the portal gun is low key the most important invention in Rick’s arsenal, and the episode does a good job of underlining that without belaboring the point.”
