adverb

否定ひていできないほど

解説 Definition

事実・性質・結果などがはっきりしていて、反論や否定がほとんど成り立たないほど、という意味です。talented, clear, effective など形容詞を強め、根拠の強さを示す文脈でよく使われます。

Undeniably means in a way that is so clear, true, or strongly shown that it is very hard to argue against it. It is often used to strengthen adjectives such as talented, clear, or effective. The word suggests that there is strong evidence, results, or a very strong impression behind the statement, not just personal confidence.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

deny は「否定する」、deniable は「否定できる」です。そこに否定の un- が付くと undeniable「否定できない」、さらに -ly で副詞の undeniably になります。certainly のように単に確信を述べるだけでなく、証拠・実績・印象が強く、反論しにくいほどだ、という強め方です。undeniably clear, undeniably talented, undeniably effective の形で覚えると自然です。

Start with deny, which means "say no" or "refuse to accept." Deniable means "able to be denied," so undeniable means "not able to be denied," and undeniably is the adverb form. It is stronger than certainly because it suggests there is clear proof, strong results, or such a strong impression that argument is difficult. Remember common pairs like undeniably clear, undeniably talented, and undeniably effective.

例文

新しいシステムは古いものより否定できないほど効果的だ。

彼が去った後も、チームへの影響は否定できないほど大きかった。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

undeniably は「間違いなく」として、話し手が判断や結論を強く押し出す副詞として覚えます。中に deny「否定する」があり、undeniable「否定できない」から副詞になった形です。undeniably true, undeniably talented, undeniably important のように形容詞の前に置き、「これは確かにそうだ」「疑う余地がないほどそうだ」という確信を文全体に加えます。

The key word inside is `deny`. If something is `undeniable`, you cannot deny it, and `undeniably` uses that idea as an adverb. It often means `certainly` or `definitely`, as in `undeniably true`, `undeniably talented`, or `undeniably important`.

例文

She is undeniably the best athlete in the team.

The evidence is undeniably clear.

証拠は否定できないほど明白である。

His talent is undeniably impressive.

彼の才能は紛れもなく素晴らしい。

undeniably の語源・成り立ち Etymology

un-(否定)+ deniable(否定できる)+ -ly。deny は古フランス語 denier、ラテン語 denegare「拒む、ノーと言う」にさかのぼります。

Undeniably is made from un- "not," deniable, and the adverb ending -ly. Deniable comes from deny, which goes back through Old French denier to Latin denegare, meaning "to refuse" or "to say no."
