indelibly

/ˌɪnˈdɛɫəbɫi/ adv

In an indelible manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'delere' meaning 'to destroy, wipe out.' Indelible is 'not able to be wiped out' — permanent. The same root gives us delete (wipe out) and deletion. The breakdown in+dele+ble+ly shows the root 'dele' (from delere). The PIE root *delh- means 'to split, cut,' which evolved to 'destroy.'
