頻繁に
解説 Definition
何かが繰り返して、しばしば起こることを表します。何度も、度々という意味で、頻繁さを示す副詞です。
Frequently means often or many times. It is used to talk about actions or events that happen regularly, but not always. This word is common in both everyday conversation and more formal writing.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
frequently は frequent（頻繁な）+ -ly（〜に）で、そのまま「頻繁に」。まず形で覚えると定着しやすいです。frequency（頻度）と同じ語幹なので、3語をセットで結ぶと忘れにくくなります。意味は基本的に often に近いですが、often よりやや説明的・文章的。frequently asked questions、occur frequently、visit frequently のようなまとまりで覚えると実際の使い方まで一緒に入ります。
This word is easy to store by form: frequent + -ly = frequently. Keep it together with "frequent" and "frequency" as one family. It is close to "often," but sounds a bit more formal and common in writing.

frequently の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 frequens（混み合った、繰り返される）に副詞化接尾辞 -ly が付いた形。frequent の語根は「詰まった・密な」を意味し、時間的に密→「頻繁に」となった。関連語: frequency（頻度）、frequent（頻繁な）。空間的な密集から時間的な反復へと意味が転じた語。
Frequently comes from frequent, which goes back to Latin frequens, meaning "crowded" or "repeated," plus the adverb ending -ly. The original idea was fullness or closeness in space. That later shifted into closeness in time, giving the meaning "often." Related words include frequency and frequent.
