覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
judge, judgment を知っていれば覚えやすい語です。judicious は「判断がよい」、そこに -ly が付いて「賢明に、思慮深く」。単なる cleverly ではなく、勢いでうまくやるのでなく、状況を見て落ち着いて適切に動く感じがあります。use money judiciously, choose words judiciously のように「資源・表現・行動をむだなく慎重に使う」と一緒に覚えると定着します。似た carefully は単に注意深いだけですが、judiciously は“判断の質が高い”点まで含むのが違いです。
Connect it to `judge` and `judgment`. `Judicious` means showing good judgment, and `-ly` turns it into an adverb. It is stronger than just `carefully` because it suggests wise choice, not only caution. Phrases like `use money judiciously` or `choose words judiciously` make the feeling of the word clear.
