腰を据える
- Meaning
- 落ち着いて物事にじっくり取り組む

- "腰を据える" means to settle down and tackle one thing thoroughly. The key point is that it does not mean to start moving, as in c3's "getting ready and setting off," but to settle in and concentrate for a long time.
Original Japanese explanation
「腰を据える」は、落ち着いて一つの物事にじっくり取り組むことです。c3「用意を整えて出発する」のような動き出す意味ではなく、腰を落ち着けて長く集中する点が要点です。
