覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
go abroad は go だけだと単なる「行く」ですが、abroad が付くと「自国の外へ出る」で、「海外へ行く」の定番表現になります。study abroad, travel abroad, live abroad, go abroad for business のように、留学・旅行・赴任の場面ごとセットで覚えると定着しやすいです。go overseas と近いものの、go abroad は会話でも文章でもよく出る基本形。国名を言わずに「とにかく国外へ行く」とまとめて言いたいときの句だと押さえると迷いません。
`Abroad` means outside your own country, so `go abroad` is a fixed way to talk about leaving home for another country. Learn it with common pairs like `study abroad`, `travel abroad`, and `live abroad`. It helps when you want to speak generally, without naming a country.

abroadは中英語on brede(広く)が変化した語で、a-(～の状態で)+broad(広い)の構成。broadはゲルマン祖語*braidaz(広い)に由来。「広い世界へ出て行く」が原義で、国外への移動を表す。関連語: broad, broaden。
