uncompromisingly
妥協なく
解説 Definition
妥協なく、一歩も譲らない態度や方法。相手の意見や条件を受け入れない、厳格で強硬な姿勢を示す。
Uncompromisingly means in a way that does not bend, soften, or accept less than what is believed to be right or necessary. It is often used for strong opinions, strict standards, or a very firm style.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず compromise＝「妥協する・折り合う」を核に置く。そこへ un- が付くと「妥協しない」、さらに -ly で「そういう態度で」。つまり uncompromisingly は「一歩も引かずに」「譲歩なしで」。compromise on price / policy の反対側にある語だと置くと覚えやすい。take an uncompromising stance, speak uncompromisingly のように、交渉・政治・信念でよく似合う。strictly が単に厳格、firmly がしっかり、なら、これは相手に合わせない強硬さまで含む。
Build it step by step: `compromise` -> `uncompromising` -> `uncompromisingly`. That helps you feel the meaning as "with no compromise at all." It often matches strong contexts like politics, beliefs, or negotiations, such as `take an uncompromising stance`.

uncompromisingly の語源・成り立ち Etymology
uncompromisingly は un-「否定」+ compromise + -ly。compromise は古フランス語経由で後期ラテン語 compromittere「互いに約束する」に由来します。つまり「歩み寄る約束」をしないから妥協なく、です。promise も同根です。
Uncompromisingly is formed from un- "not" + compromise + -ly. Compromise came through Old French from Late Latin compromittere, meaning "to make a mutual promise" or "to agree together." The modern sense developed from making a shared agreement, so the word came to describe acting without any such agreement or concession. Promise is from the same Latin root.
