Word Origin

供給量 (kyokyōryō) = 'supply amount' (供給 'supply' + 量 'amount') + 調整する (chōsei suru) = 'to adjust' (調整 'adjustment' + する 'to do'). The phrase combines two nouns and a verb to form a compound verb phrase describing the act of regulating supply quantities.

Usage Notes

This phrase is typically used in formal contexts such as economics, business reports, or policy discussions. It implies intentional regulation rather than natural fluctuations in supply.
