resolutely

/ˈɹɛsəˌɫutɫi/, /ˈɹɛzəˌɫutɫi/ adv

In a determined, unyielding manner.

Word Origin Resolutely comes from Latin resolvere 'to loosen, release, solve,' with re- 'back, again.' Resolute originally meant 'loosened, released,' but evolved to mean 'determined, unwavering' — as if you've solved all doubts. The adverb resolutely means 'in a determined manner.' The same root solvere gives us solve, solution, dissolve, and absolute (loosened from all constraints).
