勧める
解説 Definition
強く勧める、督励する、または促す。積極的に誰かに何かをするよう呼びかける。
To exhort means to strongly encourage someone to do something. It is often used in formal speech, writing, or public messages, especially when advice has a serious or moral tone. The word is stronger and more urgent than simply saying "suggest."
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
advise や recommend より熱量が高く、urge にかなり近い語。単なる「勧める」ではなく、演説・説教・声明などで相手を奮い立たせ、「ぜひそうすべきだ」と強く促す場面で出やすい。leaders exhort citizens to vote, teachers exhort students to keep trying のように exhort A to do で覚えると使い方も一緒に残る。encourage よりも言葉で強く呼びかける感じが前に出る。形が似た extort は「脅し取る」なので混同注意。
Think of `exhort` as being close to `urge`, not just `advise`. It is often used for strong spoken encouragement, especially in public speech or serious advice. The useful pattern is `exhort someone to do something`. Do not mix it up with `extort`, which has a completely different meaning.

exhort の語源・成り立ち Etymology
exhort はラテン語 exhortari「強く促す」に由来し、ex-「外へ」+ hortari「励ます・勧める」に分けられます。相手を内にためず外へ押し出すように勧める感覚から、「熱心に勧める」という意味になりました。関連語は exhortation, hortatory.
From Latin exhortari, meaning "urge strongly," made from ex- meaning "out" and hortari, meaning "encourage" or "urge." The sense is of pushing someone forward into action rather than letting them hold back. Related English words include exhortation and hortatory.
