inflexibly

/ˌɪnˈfɫɛksəbɫi/ adv

With a firmness that resists all importunity or persuasion; in an inflexible, unyielding or immovable manner; relentlessly.

Word Origin Built from Latin in- 'not' and flectere 'to bend' — literally 'unbendable.' The root flectere is a superstar: it gives us flexible (able to bend), deflect (bend away), reflect (bend back), and even genuflect (bend the knee). So when you do something inflexibly, you're refusing to bend even a little.

adv With a firmness that resists all importunity or persuasion; in an inflexible, unyielding or immovable manner; relentlessly.
