If I want someone I work with to wait for me on the ground floor because I need to go take care of something on a different floor, could I use the word ‘trudge’?
“You don’t have to come with me, just wait here. I don’t want you to trudge back and forth.”
I’d have to come back to the floor we are on anyway and I don’t want the person to go downstairs with me because it’s not necessary.
Thank you.
"trudge" means to walk slowly under difficult conditions. Usually the context is someone who is very tired (physically or emotionally) and has to walk a long way in bad weather. We trudged back to camp through the steamy hot rainforest.

Just wait here while I run downstairs (or upstairs). I'll be back in a jiffy.
