unresistingly

/ˌʌnɹᵻzˈɪstɪŋli/ adv

In an unresisting way; without resistance.

Word Origin The adverb form of unresisting, from Latin 're-' (against) + 'sistere' (to stand). Literally 'in a manner of not standing against.' The root 'sistere' is from PIE *sta- 'to stand,' which also gives us 'stance,' 'static,' 'constant' (standing together), 'distance' (standing apart), and 'substance' (standing under). So unresistingly means acting without taking a stand, just going along.
