unequivocally

/ˌəniˈkwɪvəkəɫi/, /ˌəniˈkwɪvəkɫi/ adv

In a way that leaves no doubt; in an unequivocal or unambiguous manner, unquestionably.

Word Origin Built from Latin aequus 'equal' and vox 'voice' — literally 'not equal-voiced.' Equivocal means having two equal voices, i.e., ambiguous. So unequivocally means leaving no doubt, with one clear voice. The same roots give us equal, equity, vocal, and advocate (calling to one's aid). The breakdown un+equivoc+al+ly shows the layers: 'not' + 'equal-voice' + 'adjective' + 'adverb'.
