/ˈstɜːdɪli//ˈstɜːrdɪli/

The word "sturdily" originates from the Old English words "stur" meaning "strong, sturdy" and the suffix "-ly" which is a derivative-forming suffix. The word first appeared in the 14th century, derived from the adjective "stur" which described something as robust, solid, or firm. In Middle English (circa 1100-1500 AD), "sturdily" was used to describe actions or things that were done with strength, solidity, or firmness. For example, "the builder worketh sturdily" means that the builder works strongly or firmly. Over time, the word has evolved to be used more frequently as an adverb, describing an action or state as being done or existing in a strong, robust, or firm manner. Today, "sturdily" is commonly used to describe something that is built to last, reliable, or executed with strength and determination.
