覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 outlook の複数形で、語末が /k/ のため -s は /s/ と発音します。out＋look の「外を見る」像から、先を眺める「見通し」や物事への「見方」につなげます。economic outlooks、weather outlooks、different outlooks のように、地域・分野・人ごとの複数の予測や見方を比較する場面で使います。
Begin with the singular noun outlook, built transparently from out and look. The literal image of looking outward developed into the ideas of viewing a situation and looking ahead to the future. Outlooks is its regular plural, formed by adding -s; after the final /k/ sound, the ending is pronounced /s/. Use the plural when forecasts or viewpoints are being compared: “economic outlooks for three regions,” “weather outlooks,” or “their different outlooks on the market.” This helps distinguish several perspectives or projections from one general outlook.
例文

Their outlooks on the market were different.
市場に対する彼らの見通しは異なっていました。
Weather outlooks for the weekend remain uncertain.
週末の天気の見通しはまだ不確かです。

outlooks の語源・成り立ち Etymology
out（外へ）+ look（見る）の複合語で、古英語に遡る。文字通り「外を見ること」から「見通し・展望」の意味に発展した。関連語に overlook（見渡す／見落とす）、lookout（見張り）がある。視線を外に向ける行為が将来への予測という抽象概念に転じた。
Outlooks is the regular plural of outlook, a compound of out and look. Both elements have deep Germanic roots in English. The noun outlook first expressed the act or place of looking outward and then developed figurative senses involving a person’s perspective and the apparent course of future events. Adding plural -s allows English to refer to separate forecasts or viewpoints. Overlook and lookout contain the same familiar elements but have developed different meanings and grammatical uses.
