categorically
Usage Note
Rotundamente intensifies a negation or refusal, indicating that something was denied without any qualification: Lo negó rotundamente ('He flatly denied it'). It derives from rotundo ('round, complete, absolute') and is a register marker for formal or journalistic prose. In everyday speech tajantemente or simply completamente may replace it, but rotundamente is the preferred collocate with negar and rechazar.
Examples
"Rechazó rotundamente la acusación."
Natural Translation
She flatly rejected the accusation.
