strongly

/ˈstɹɔŋɫi/ adv A2, B1

with force

Word Origin Strongly is strong + -ly, but strong itself comes from a root meaning 'tight, firm' — the same root that gives us string and strain. So something strongly done is done with tight, firm force. The connection between strong and string is surprising: both are about tension and tautness.
