widely known for something bad
Well known by many people in a bad or negative way.
用法パターン：
[someone]/[something] is notorious for [something/doing something]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse 'notorious' with 'famous'. Both mean 'well known', but 'notorious' is almost always negative, used for bad behavior, crime, scandals, or very unpleasant qualities. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is correct to say 'notorious for something', not 'notorious of something' or 'notorious about something'.
類義語
infamous (Very close in meaning, but can sound slightly more formal or dramatic.)
|
disreputable (Focuses more on having a bad reputation rather than simply being widely known.)
|
ill‑famed (Less common and slightly literary; very similar meaning but not frequent in everyday speech.)
|
noted (for) (Often neutral or positive; can be negative in some contexts, so it does not always carry the strong negative feeling of 'notorious'.)
対義語
respected (Known and thought of in a good or honorable way, the opposite of being known for bad things.)
|
admired (Widely known and looked up to, not known for something bad.)
