hardly 의 짝꿍단어가 몇 있는데 hardly ever, hardly any, hardly anyone 이다. 
어려운, 힘든 이라고 흔히 알고있는 뜻에서 파생했기에 부정의 의미를 가지고 있는 것이 놀랍지 않다.

Barely

barely 는 bare 에서 파생한 부사다. bare 가 알몸의 맨 것의 이라는 의미를 가졌고,  barely 는 최소한의 이라는 의미를 이어가고있다. 사전에는 by the smallest amount 라고 정의한다. 겨우, 간신히, 최소한만 충족하는, 겨우 최소한 같은 뉘앙스를 강하게 풍긴다. barely manage to 하면 간신히 -하다 하는 뜻이 된다. 겨우-였다. 할 때도 barely 를 사용한다.
