pigheadedly

/pˈɪɡhɪdᵻdli/ adv

In a pigheaded manner.

Word Origin A compound of pig and head — pigheadedly means stubbornly, like a pig with its head down refusing to move. The word pigheaded emerged in the 19th century to describe obstinate people. The -ed suffix turns the noun into an adjective (having a pig's head), and -ly makes it an adverb. Related words like pigsty and pigtail show how pig combines freely.
