Kanji 方 direction, person, alternative Related words 非ひ 常じょう に A neutral, everyday intensifier meaning 'very'. 一方ならず is more formal and carries a nuance of being beyond ordinary measure.
大たい 変へん Common polite intensifier. 一方ならず is more literary and emphasizes an exceptional degree, often in set expressions of gratitude.
Etymology From 一方 (one side, ordinary measure) + ならず (archaic negative of なり, 'is not'), literally 'not being ordinary'. The phrase fossilized as a formal adverb.
