firmly
In unyielding fashion
Firmly means in a secure or fixed way: Make sure the lid is firmly attached.
It also describes resolute or unwavering manner: She firmly refused to negotiate.
The word suggests conviction and strength—a firmly held belief won't easily change, and someone who speaks firmly leaves no room for doubt.
