Meaning

Primary

To Step On

Alternative

To Tread On

Word Type

transitive verb, godan verb

Explanation

Because the hiragana ends with an sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means step and the verb vocab version is to step on. So, not quite "to step" like you might expect, but at least you're stepping still, though it's on something.
