覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず obnoxious をひとかたまりで「annoying より強く、周囲をうんざりさせる嫌さ」と覚えると、obnoxiously はそのまま「不快な感じで」「鼻につくように」と取れます。-ly が付いた副詞なので、talk obnoxiously, laugh obnoxiously のように動詞を修飾する形が基本。badly は単に「ひどく」、rudely は「無礼に」ですが、obnoxiously は自己中心的で周囲に嫌な空気をまき散らす感じ。obvious / obviously と綴りが少し似ているので混同注意です。
Learn `obnoxious` first as a stronger word than `annoying`. Then `obnoxiously` is simply the adverb form with `-ly`, often used with verbs like `talk`, `laugh`, or `behave`. Be careful not to mix it up with `obvious` or `obviously`, which look similar but are unrelated.

obnoxiously の語源・成り立ち Etymology
obnoxiously は obnoxious＋-ly。obnoxious はラテン語 ob-「〜に向かって」＋noxa「害」からで、元は「害を受けやすい」が「人を害して不快な」へ転じた。関連語に noxious、innocent がある。
Obnoxiously comes from obnoxious + -ly. Obnoxious goes back to Latin roots: ob- "toward" and noxa "harm" or "damage." It first had the sense of being exposed to harm or blame, but later shifted to the modern idea of causing offense or being very unpleasant; related words include noxious and innocent.
