fixedly

/ˈfɪksɪdli/ adv B2

without change

Word Origin Fixedly comes from fix, from Latin figere 'to fasten, drive in.' So to look fixedly is to fasten your gaze. The same root gives us fixture, affix, prefix, suffix, and crucifix (fixed to a cross). The -ed and -ly make it an adverb. So fixedly means in a fastened, unwavering way.
