精査する
解説 Definition
詳細に調べたり検査したりすること。厳密に検討する。
Scrutinising means looking at something very carefully and in great detail in order to check it, understand it, or find problems. It is often used for documents, data, behavior, or decisions. This is the British spelling of "scrutinizing."
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず語尾の -ing を外して scrutinise と見る。さらに名詞 scrutiny(精査)とセットで覚えると定着しやすい。意味は「ざっと見る」ではなく、細部に目を凝らして厳しくチェックすること。check や examine よりも、ミス・不正・矛盾を見逃さない感じが強い。新聞やビジネスでは scrutinise data, scrutinise a report, come under scrutiny が頻出で、「注目して詳しく調べる」場面を思い浮かべるとよい。なお米式は scrutinizing / scrutinize。綴り違いで迷わないように。
Start by removing `-ing`: the base word is `scrutinise` (`scrutinize` in US spelling). Link it with the noun `scrutiny`, because these two often appear together in news and business English. Think of it as stronger than `check` or `look at`: it suggests careful attention to small details in phrases like `scrutinise a report` or `come under scrutiny`.

scrutinising の語源・成り立ち Etymology
scrutinising は scrutinise + -ing で、scrutinise はラテン語 scrutari「細かく探る」、さらに scruta「ごみ・がらくた」にさかのぼります。scrutiny や scrutineer と同根で、雑多な山をあさる感覚から「精査する」が生まれました。
This form comes from scrutinise, with -ing added. Scrutinise goes back to Latin scrutari, meaning "to search carefully," from scruta, meaning rubbish or odds and ends. The original image was of digging through a messy pile to find something, and that developed into the idea of close examination. Related English words include scrutiny and scrutineer.
