steadily

/ˈstɛdəɫi/ adv A2, B1

in a firm way; without shaking

Word Origin From Old English 'stede' 'place, position' — so 'steady' means 'firm in its place', not moving. 'Steadily' is the adverb. The root is the same as 'stand', 'state', 'stable', 'station', 'stay' — all from the PIE *steh₂- 'to stand'. So steadily is about standing firm.
