In the example sentence of Vocabulary 5 "steadily" in Video 8 of Module 2
You said "It has been raining steadily all day with no led up"
My question is the meaning of " with no led up"
I couldn't find the meaning in the English dictionary.
Please respond to my question when you have time.

Hello Taeuk,
Thank you for the question!
Here, although the word “lead-up” would be more common and correct to use, you can consider it as practically the same thing as “lead-up” as the word “led” is simply a past tense of the word “lead.”
When you say A is “leading up” to B, it means A is progressing and reaching B, usually an event.
In this sentence, the expression “with no led up” is trying to say “[비가 계속 올 것 같다는] 별 다른 징조 없이”
For instance, if you say:
“The main character died all of a sudden with no led up or whatsoever”
it means: “그 주인공은 별 다른 징조도 없이 갑자기/뜬금없이 죽었다.”
I hope it makes sense!
Best regards,
