軒並み

• 読み: のきなみ

意味

Row of houses; across the board; without exception. Originally refers to a line of houses, but most commonly used as an adverb meaning universally or uniformly.

While the literal meaning is a row of houses standing side by side, the overwhelmingly more common usage is adverbial: 軒並み上がる (to rise across the board), 軒並み閉店する (to close one after another without exception). It emphasises that something applies to every instance in a group, leaving nothing out. Frequently appears in news reporting about economic trends, prices, and widespread phenomena.

例文

1. 物価が軒並み上昇している。
2. 台風の影響で軒並み飛行機が欠航した。
3. 商店街の店が軒並み閉まっていた。

起源と歴史

From 軒 (noki, eaves of a house) + 並み (nami, row/line). Originally described the eaves of houses lined up along a street, then extended to mean 'every single one in a row' — hence the adverbial sense of 'across the board.'
