ひどく
解説 Definition
horribly は、物事が非常に悪い状態で起きたり、悪い程度が大きいことを表す副詞です。horribly wrong, horribly treated, horribly sick のように、失敗・扱い・体調など望ましくない状態を強める場面でよく使います。
Horribly is an adverb used to show that something happens in a very bad, unpleasant, or harmful way. It often strengthens negative situations such as mistakes, treatment, or illness. You can use it in phrases like something going wrong, being treated badly, or feeling very sick. Compared with very, horribly gives a stronger sense of bad results or discomfort.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
horribly は horrible（ひどい、いやな）に副詞の -ly が付いた形です。まず horrible = bad の強い形と考えると、horribly wrong は「ひどく間違って」、horribly treated は「ひどく扱われて」と理解しやすくなります。very より悪い結果や不快さがはっきり出る語です。別エントリの「恐ろしく」はより衝撃や恐怖を感じさせる用法なので、ここでは悪さ・不快さの程度を強める働きに注目します。
Think of horribly as horrible plus -ly. If you remember that horrible is a strong form of bad, phrases like horribly wrong and horribly treated become easy to understand. This word often highlights a clearly bad result or strong discomfort, more than just very. In this entry, focus on that sense of badness rather than the separate meaning of something frightening.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
このエントリの horribly は、単に「ひどく」と程度を強める基本用法ではなく、horror や horrible に近い「ぞっとするほど、恐怖を感じるほど」という色が前に出る用法です。事故、傷、変形、残酷な出来事など、見聞きした人が強い衝撃や嫌悪を覚える対象と結びつきやすいと覚えるとよいです。horribly disfiguring のように、ただ悪いだけでなく、見たくないほど不快な印象を含みます。
Link it to `horror` and `horrible`. Add `-ly`, and it becomes the adverb for saying something is bad in a shocking or unpleasant way. You often see it in phrases like `horribly wrong` or `horribly injured`.
例文
The accident was horribly disfiguring for the victim.

彼は恐ろしく間違った決断をしたことに気づいた。
The food at that restaurant was horribly overpriced.
そのレストランの食事は値段が恐ろしく高かった。
horribly の語源・成り立ち Etymology
horribly は horrible に副詞語尾 -ly が付いた語。horrible はラテン語 horrere「震える、毛が逆立つ」に由来し、恐怖から「ひどい、不快な」へ意味が広がった。
Horribly comes from horrible plus the adverb ending -ly. Horrible comes from the Latin word horrere, meaning "to tremble" or "to bristle." From the idea of fear, its meaning later developed into "very bad" or "unpleasant."
