Noun + に即して
Explanation
に即して is used to indicate that something is done according to, based on, or closely aligned with a standard, rule, principle, or actual situation.
It emphasizes that the action or judgment is not arbitrary, but is made by faithfully following the referenced basis. Because of this nuance, it is frequently used in formal or written Japanese, such as policies, official decisions, education, and legal or administrative contexts.
Compared to similar expressions, に即して sounds more formal and precise, often implying careful consideration of reality or rules.
