English word for "repetitive, boring work"?


Is there an English word for "work which is repetitive (and often boring), but which must be done"?



Answer



Drudgery is routine or dull work like domestic drudgery. Donkey work is an informal (British) synonym.




"The donkey work had been done - the intricate brushing away of thousands of years of dust and soil was a task undertaken by the steady handed experts."
