persistently

/pɝˈsɪstəntɫi/ adv

In a persistent manner.

Word Origin From Latin per- 'through' and stare 'to stand' — so persist is literally 'to stand through,' to keep standing despite obstacles. Persistently means 'in a standing-through manner.' The root stare gives us resist (stand back), consist (stand together), insist (stand on), and state (a standing condition), and the breakdown per+sist+ent+ly shows through-stand-adjective-adverb.
