Etymology

The word 'stoutly' originated from the Middle English 'stout', which means brave, bold, or strong. The root of stout can be traced back to the Old French 'estout', which itself derived from the Latin 'stultus', meaning foolish. Over time, the connotation of strength and bravery became more prevalent than the meaning of foolishness. The adverbial form 'stoutly' emerged to describe the manner of performing an action with the same boldness that characterizes the adjective 'stout'. This term gained popularity in English literature during the medieval period, particularly in texts that emphasized chivalry, courage, and moral strength. Its usage has remained relevant in contemporary English when describing someone who confronts challenges with determination.
