INSISTING Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "insisting" is a verbalized form of the adjective "insistent" and is often used to describe the act or behavior of someone who is resolute or firm in their statements, demands, or opinions. Insisting is characterized by a determination to assert or emphasize a particular point of view, goal, or course of action, often in a persistent or forceful manner.
When someone insists on something, they express an unwavering belief or desire and require that others recognize and adhere to their perspective. This can manifest through repeated requests, demands, or arguments, aiming to establish their position as non-negotiable or to create a sense of urgency or obligation for others to comply. The act of insisting is typically accompanied by a strong conviction, conviction, and unwavering confidence in the validity or correctness of the emphasized point.
In interpersonal relationships, insisting can convey a sense of determination or stubbornness, as it involves a refusal to be swayed or convinced otherwise. However, insisting can also signify a commitment to principles or values, showing dedication and persistence in achieving a desired outcome.
Overall, insisting is the proactive and sometimes assertive act of making one's point of view or desires known, often through repeated requests or forceful persuasion, with the intent of persuading others to agree or comply.

Etymology of INSISTING
The word "insisting" is derived from the Latin verb "insistere", which is composed of the prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "on") and the verb "sistere" (meaning "to stand"). "Insistere" originally meant "to take a stand" or "to stand firm". Over time, it developed the additional sense of "persisting" or "demanding strongly", which is the meaning we associate with "insisting" today. The word "insist" first appeared in English in the 16th century, with the present participle form "insisting" appearing later.
