Also means
steadfastly
Usage Note
Firmemente is formed from firme (firm, steady) + -mente. Because firme ends in -e and carries no written accent, firmemente likewise requires none. It describes both physical steadiness (sostenido firmemente — held firmly) and resolute conviction (creer firmemente — to believe steadfastly). Distinguish it from sólidamente (solidly) and decididamente (decisively), which carry different shades of firmness.
Examples
"Se negó firmemente a ceder ante la presión."
Natural Translation
He firmly refused to yield to the pressure.
