知見

• 読み: ちけん
• ローマ字: chiken
• 漢字の分解: 知 (chi) — to know, knowledge | 見 (ken) — to see, findings
• 発音: /tɕi.ken/

意味

Knowledge; expertise; findings; insight. Knowledge gained through direct experience, research, or investigation.

A formal noun that emphasises knowledge as something earned through experience or careful observation — not merely received secondhand. Often used in academic, research, and professional settings. The phrase 知見を得る (to gain insight/findings) and 知見を活かす (to apply one's expertise) are common. It is stronger and more experiential than 知識 (knowledge in general).

例文

1. 研究者はフィールドワークを通じて得た知見を、論文にまとめて発表した。
2. 現場での豊富な知見が、彼の意思決定を支える確かな根拠となっていた。
3. 異分野の専門家から知見を取り入れることで、議論の深みが大きく増した。
