由 insist（坚持）加副词后缀 -ently 联想：有人反复强调“I insist!”，便是 insistently（坚持地）。
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、书面报道 insistently 在口语和书面语中都可以使用，表示“坚持地、执意地”。它通常修饰表示说话或要求的动词，如 say、ask、demand；在需要表达反复、执着语气时使用。
发音上，consistently 和 persistently 与 insistently 的重音都在 /sɪ/，后面的 /stəntli/ 也相同，因此构成真韵；而 diligently、frequently、evidently 虽拼写都含 -ently，但重音和元音各不相同（/ˈdɪlɪdʒəntli/、/ˈfriːkwəntli/、/ˈɛvɪdəntli/），并不与 insistently 押韵，勿按拼写推断读音。
