manfully

In resolute fashion

Manfully means in a brave, resolute, or determined manner—facing difficulty with courage rather than shrinking from it: He manfully accepted responsibility for the failure.

The word carries old-fashioned overtones, associating courage and fortitude specifically with manliness.

It appears less frequently now as such gendered assumptions face scrutiny.
