The word "rigidly" has its roots in the Latin word "rigidus," meaning stiff or rigid. This Latin word is derived from the verb "rigere," which means to stiffen or harden. The English word "rigidly" is an adverb that means in a stiff or strict manner, having a sense of firmness or obstinacy. The first recorded use of "rigidly" in English dates back to the 15th century. Initially, the word was used to describe something that was stiff or inflexible, such as a rigid piece of wood. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include the idea of being firm or strict in one's opinions or actions. In modern English, "rigidly" is often used to describe someone who is inflexible or unwilling to compromise, such as "he stood rigidly opposed to the proposal."
