Definition of fiercely

fiercelyadverb

dữ dội

/ˈfɪəsli//ˈfɪrsli/

"Fiercely" comes from the Old English word "fierce," meaning "intense" or "strong." The "ly" suffix was added later to create an adverb, indicating how something is done. The word "fierce" itself likely originates from the Proto-Germanic word "fairkaz," which also meant "fierce" or "strong." This word further traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root "perk-," meaning "to pierce" or "to strike." So, "fiercely" essentially describes something done with a strong, piercing, or intense force.
