覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず基礎の repeat「繰り返す」を確実に押さえると覚えやすいです。re- は「もう一度」、peat の細かい由来は気にせず、「同じ動作をまたする」が核だと捉えると repeatedly はその副詞形で「何度も、繰り返し」。文では repeated mistakes なら「繰り返されたミス」、repeatedly made mistakes なら「何度もミスをした」のように、-ly が付くと動作の起こり方を説明します。say repeatedly, ask repeatedly, repeatedly fail のように、同じ行為が何回も起こる場面と結びつけると定着しやすいです。
Build it from `repeat` + `-edly`. The base idea is doing the same thing again and again, and the adverb tells you how an action happens. Phrases like `ask repeatedly` or `repeatedly fail` make it easy to remember.

repeatedly の語源・成り立ち Etymology
repeat + 副詞接尾辞 -edly の構成。repeat はラテン語 re-(再び)+ petere(求める・向かう)が語源で、「繰り返し求める」が原義。何度も同じ方向へ向かうイメージ。関連語: petition(請願)、compete(競争する)。
Repeatedly comes from repeat with the adverb ending -edly. Repeat comes from Latin re- "again" and petere, meaning "to seek" or "go toward." The original image was of going again toward the same thing, which developed into the idea of doing something again and again; related words include petition and compete.
