unflinchingly

/ənˈfɫɪntʃɪŋli/ adv

Without showing fear or indecision; resolutely.

Word Origin Flinch comes from Old French flancher 'to turn aside, give ground', originally from flanc 'flank, side' — the idea of turning your flank away from danger. So unflinchingly means not turning aside, standing firm. The un- prefix negates, -ing makes it ongoing, -ly makes it an adverb. Related: flank (the side), lanky (long and lean, maybe from the same bent root). The PIE root *klek- 'to bend' connects to words like link and lean.
