問い糺す

• 読み: といただす
• ローマ字: toitadasu
• 漢字の分解: 問 (toi/mon) — question, inquire; 糺 (tada/kyū) — investigate, correct
• 発音: /to.i.ta.da.sɯ/

意味

To question closely; to interrogate strictly; to examine by persistent inquiry.

A Group 1 (godan) compound verb combining 問い (question) + 糺す (tadasu — to correct, to set right, to investigate strictly). 糺す carries the specific sense of rigorously probing to establish the truth or correct an error. 問い糺す is thus more formal and adversarial than 問いかける, closer in nuance to 'to call to account' or 'to cross-examine.' It appears in legal, political, and literary contexts.

例文

2. 記者は会見で社長に不正の経緯を執拗に問い糺した。
3. 古文書を読み解き、歴史の真実を問い糺すのが彼女の研究の核心だ。
