insistently

/ˌɪnˈsɪstəntɫi/ adv

In an insistent manner; pressingly.

Word Origin Built from Latin in- 'on' and sistere 'to stand' — so to insist is literally to stand on something, to take a firm position. Insistently then means doing it with that standing-firm quality. The root sistere is from the same PIE *sta- that gives us stand, state, and statue — all about being firmly placed.
