Usage Note
Fièrement modifies a verb to express that an action is done with pride or a sense of dignity. It derives from fier/fière ('proud'). The adverb is slightly literary in tone; in casual speech French speakers more often say avec fierté ('with pride'). Note that the accent on fièrement shifts to grave, unlike the adjective fier.
