adamantly

/ˈædəməntɫi/ adv

In an immovable or inflexible manner.

Word Origin From Greek adamas, literally 'untameable' — a- 'not' + daman 'to tame'. Originally it referred to the hardest metal or stone, like diamond. That's why when you're adamant, you're unbreakable in your stance. The same root gives us diamond (the unbreakable gem) and dauntless (not tamed by fear).
