conditionally
条件付きで
解説 Definition
特定の条件や制限を伴う形式で、何かが認められたり実行されたりする様子を表します。無条件ではなく、一定の要件がある状態です。
Conditionally means only if a particular condition is met. It is often used in formal situations such as agreements, approvals, or rules that depend on something else happening first.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
condition が分かれば取りやすい語です。まず conditional = 「条件つきの」、そこに -ly が付いて「条件つきで」。if や as long as が見える場面と結びつけると定着しやすく、 approve conditionally / release conditionally / conditionally accepted のように『無条件ではなく、条件を満たせば可』という含みでよく使われます。反対語は unconditionally。conditional → conditionally の形の変化ごと覚えると崩れません。
Build it from `condition` to `conditional` to `conditionally`. It often appears in `if` situations, like `approved conditionally` or `conditionally accepted`. The key memory hook is: not freely, not fully, but only when certain conditions are met.

conditionally の語源・成り立ち Etymology
conditionally は condition「条件」+ -al + -ly。condition はラテン語 condicio「取り決め」にさかのぼり、con-「共に」+ dic-「言う」が核なので、dictate や verdict と同じく『定めた事柄に従って』が「条件付きで」の感覚です。
Conditionally comes from condition, with the endings -al and -ly added in English. Condition goes back through Old French to Latin condicio, meaning an agreement or stated term, linked to dicere "to say." The sense developed from "something formally stated" to "a requirement or term," so conditionally came to mean "depending on a stated condition"; related words include dictate and verdict.
