'Hard-pressed' refers to being overburned by 'financial difficulties' or any difficulty?
Top answer
No, it just means that it is difficult to say for whatever reason there may be. You may ask me why I don't want to go to a party, and I might not want to go, but I don't really know why, so I could be hard pressed to explain it to you. It might be that I want to do something just because I feel like it, but I am hard pressed to give a good reason for doing it.
