steadfastly

/ˈstɛdˌfæstɫi/ adv

In a steadfast manner; firmly; with conviction

Word Origin Steadfastly comes from steadfast, a compound of stead 'place' and fast 'firm' — literally 'firm in place,' unwavering. Stead is from Proto-Germanic *stadiz 'place' (related to instead, homestead); fast from *fastuz 'fixed' (related to fasten, breakfast). So steadfastly means 'in an unshakable manner.'
