覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
deeply は deep「深い」＋ -ly で、「深い仕方で」と考えると自然に覚えられます。breathe deeply なら息を大きく吸う、roots go deeply なら根が奥まで伸びる、think deeply なら表面で止まらず考え込む感覚です。感情や影響を強めるときも、心の奥や本質に届くイメージを持つと、ただの very より深みのある副詞として使えます。
Build it from `deep` + `-ly`, like `slow` to `slowly`. It means "in a deep way," so it can describe breathing, roots, thinking, or feelings. Even in phrases like `deeply concerned`, imagine the feeling going far inside.

彼女は落ち着くために深く息を吸った。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
deeply は deep「深い」に副詞語尾 -ly が付いた語で、感情や程度が表面でなく奥まで達するほど「非常に」を表します。deeply moved、deeply concerned、deeply rooted のように心配・感動・信念など深さをもつ語と結びつきます。very より感情や影響の深さを強く感じさせるのがコツです。
Think of deeply as deep plus -ly. If something goes deep into your heart, mind, or life, it affects you deeply. This can help you remember that the word is often used for strong feelings, serious thoughts, and big effects.

deeply の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語のdēoplīce（深く）が語源。dēop（深い）はゲルマン祖語*deupazに遡り「底が遠い」が原義。接尾辞-lyは様態を表す副詞語尾。関連語にdepth（深さ）、deepen（深める）がある。物理的な深さから感情の深さへと意味が広がった。
Deeply comes from Old English deoplice, based on deop, meaning "deep," with the adverb ending -ly. The word goes back to a Germanic root with the sense of something extending far down. It first described physical depth, then later emotional or intellectual depth. Related English words include depth and deepen.
