集中的に
解説 Definition
集中した方法で、または深く注意を払いながら行うという意味です。何かに対して強い焦点を当てます。
Intensively means in a way that involves a lot of focus, effort, or activity in a short time. It is often used for study, training, treatment, or work done very seriously. It suggests strong concentration rather than a casual approach.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
intensive を知っていれば、-ly が付いて「集中的に」と取りやすい。核のイメージは「一か所に時間・労力・注意をぎゅっと注ぐ」。study intensively, train intensively, investigate intensively のように、短期間に密度高く取り組む場面でよく出る。intensive course(集中講座), intensive care も同じ発想。似た intensely は「激しく・強烈に」で、感情や光の強さにも使うが、intensively は行動の進め方の“密度”を表す。
Start from `intensive`, then add `-ly` for the adverb. Think of putting time, energy, and attention tightly into one thing. It often appears with phrases like `study intensively` or `train intensively`, so remember the idea of high density, not just strong feeling.

intensively の語源・成り立ち Etymology
intensively は intensive+副詞語尾 -ly。intensive は古フランス語 intensif、さらにラテン語 intendere「張る・伸ばす」に由来し、力や注意をぴんと張りつめる感覚から「集中的に」という意味になった。関連語は intense, intention。
"Intensively" is built from "intensive" and the adverb ending "-ly." "Intensive" came into English through French from Latin "intendere," meaning "to stretch" or "tighten." The idea developed from something mentally or physically stretched tight, and then to concentrated effort or attention. Related English words include "intense" and "intention."
