From the word’s history
From Middle English difficulte, from Latin difficultas, from difficilis, from dis- + facilis 'easy'.
源自拉丁文 difficultas，由 dis- 加 facilis「容易」來。
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.
