The underline word for this one is hapless. My answer would be <span>unlucky or unfortunate; pitiable. In this context, the narrator talks about the unlucky person who is compiling a series of dictionaries or lexicographies. Compiling it may be very complicated and long but at the end, there is something good that comes out from such action.</span>

Why does granholm use a slow and steady pace in her speech “remembering Rosa parks”
Citrus2011 [14]

Granholm uses a slow and steady pace to deliver her speech in "remembering Rosa Parks" so that the audience has time to associate with the significance of her words, thus her audience become familiar with the influence and impact of the words.

She wanted the audience to recognize the meaning of her words and to connect with them.

Jennifer Mulhern Granholm is a Canadian-American politician, lawyer, educator, author, political commentator and member of the Democratic Party who  was the Attorney General of Michigan from 1999 to 2003 and served the 47th Governor of Michigan from 2003 to 2011.
