Fix casually? Strictly! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rigidly

'strictly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fix casually?' is the wordplay.
'fix' becomes 'rig' (rigging is a kind of fixing).
'casually?' becomes 'idly'.
'rig'+'idly'='RIGIDLY'

(Other definitions for rigidly that I've seen before include "without bending" , "Stiffly" , "in unyielding grip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
