The word "stubbornly" has a fascinating history! According to Merriam-Webster, the word "stubbornly" comes from the Old English word "stubborn", which means "untamed" or "wild". This term was first used to describe an untamed animal, but over time, it took on a new meaning to describe a person who is unyielding or obstinately persistent. The suffix "-ly" was added to the end of the word to create an adverb, allowing it to be used to describe the manner in which something is done.
