assertively

/əˈsɝtɪvɫi/ adv

In an assertive manner.

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to' and serere 'to join, bind' — so assert originally meant 'to bind oneself to', to claim formally. The root serere also gives us series (things joined), desert (unbind, abandon), and insert (join in). Assertively means stating something in a bound, confident way. The idea of binding your words to a claim.
