(áo) — hervir a fuego lento, decoctar (cocinar a fuego bajo); soportar, pasar por (un período difícil o una adversidad)

Definición

熬 (áo) has two distinct senses: to simmer or decoct slowly over low heat (cooking, herbal medicine), and to endure hardship over time. For the cooking sense, it pairs with 煲 (clay-pot slow-cooking); for enduring, it's harsher and longer-term than 经历.
