steadfastly
With firm resolve
Steadfastly means in a firm, unwavering manner—holding to a course, belief, or loyalty without yielding.
Someone who steadfastly refuses to compromise won't be moved by pressure or persuasion: She steadfastly maintained her innocence.
The word implies admirable resolve, though it can shade into stubbornness: He steadfastly ignored all evidence to the contrary.
