Acerca de わざわざ
わざわざ is an adverb that is used to express when someone has gone out of their way to achieve a certain result. It may be translated as 'expressly', 'especially', or 'to go out of one's way to (A)'.
わざわざ will usually be used at the beginning of sentences, before some statement will be made about an activity that was intentionally done.
わざわざ has a tendency to be used positively, although it may be used with negative connotations as well.
Fun Fact
Although almost never used, 態態 may be seen in this kanji form. 態 is a kanji used to express 'purpose', or 'intent'. Generally, it refers to someone's 'willingness' to do something. As such, わざわざ just expresses that (A) is something that the speaker has as a strong goal. How it will be translated depends more on whether the actual result is positive, negative, or undecided.
Positive result - To purposefully do (A), with the result of (A).
Negative result - To have every intention of (A), with the actual result of (B).
Undecided result - To be intent on (A), with (A) hopefully happening.
Caution
わざと is a construction that comes from the same kanji as わざわざ. わざと generally only conveys 'on purpose', while わざわざ has many more potential meanings (due to being stronger).Ejemplos
