解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
accurately はまず形容詞 accurate「正確な」を思い出し、そこに -ly が付いて「正確に」と覚えると定着しやすいです。会話では do it accurately, measure accurately, describe accurately のように、動作の精度を言う場面でよく使います。exactly は「まさに／その通り」と内容一致にも使えますが、accurately は誤差なく・精密にという感覚が中心。特に data, numbers, information と結び付けて覚えると実用的です。
Think of accurate first, then add -ly to make the adverb. It often appears with actions that need precision, like measure accurately or describe accurately. Compared with exactly, accurately has a stronger feeling of being correct in detail, especially with data or numbers.

accurately の語源・成り立ち Etymology
accurately は accurate＋-ly。accurate はラテン語 accuratus（注意深く整えた）にさかのぼり、ad-「〜へ」＋curare「世話する」から成る。もともと「丁寧に気を配る」が「正確に」へ育ち、関連語に accuracy, cure がある。
Accurately comes from accurate plus the adverb ending -ly. Accurate goes back to Latin accuratus, meaning "carefully prepared" or "done with care," from ad- and curare, "to take care of." The idea shifted from careful attention to exactness and correctness. Related words include accuracy and cure, which share the same Latin root.
