Definition
卤 as a verb means 'to stew in soy sauce and spices' — a slow-cooking method used for meat, eggs, or tofu to give them a rich brown color and savory flavor (卤肉, 卤蛋). It can also be an adjective meaning 'rude' or 'unrefined' (粗鲁), but the POS for this row is verb, so the adjective sense is not covered here. The source gloss mixes both parts of speech, which may need correction.
v.
to stew in soy sauce and spices (a Chinese cooking method)
