Picture pushing something uphill: it moves, but only because you are spending extra effort on it. That extra effort is the word. English then lets you look at it three ways — as the effort you are spending, as the thing in the road causing it, and as a measurement of how steep the hill is.

可以想成:你在把一樣東西往坡上推。它是會動,但得多花力氣。那份「多出來的力氣」就是這個字。接著英文讓你從三個角度看同一件事:看你正在花的力氣、看路上擋著的那個東西、或者看這個坡到底有多陡。
