Definition of robustly

The word "robustly" has its roots in the 15th century. It comes from the Latin word "robustus," meaning "strong" or "healthy." In English, the word "robust" referred to something that was physically strong, healthy, or vigorous. Over time, the adjective "robust" evolved to describe people, things, or ideas that were not only physically strong but also energetic, bold, and confident. The adverb "robustly" emerged as a derivative of "robust," meaning with a robust or strong quality. In the 17th century, "robustly" began to be used to describe something that was done with robustness, strength, or vigor. Today, "robustly" is commonly used to describe actions, decisions, or efforts that are made with confidence, energy, and determination. For example, "She approached the challenge robustly" or "The new policy is robustly enforcing stricter security measures."
