rigorously

/ˈɹɪɡɝəsɫi/ adv

In a rigorous manner.

Word Origin Rigorously comes from Latin 'rigor' meaning stiffness or coldness. The idea is that something done rigorously is done with stiff, unbending precision — no slack. The same root gives us rigid, rigidity, and even 'rigor mortis' (the stiffness of death). The PIE root *reig- meant 'to stretch, be stiff'.
