Etymology:
Meaning:
Unwilling or refusing to compromise or change one's position; uncompromising.
Origin:
The term "intransigent" was first used in English in the early 19th century, borrowed from French intransigeant. It is derived from the Latin word intransigens, which literally means "not going across" or "not leading across." This term was originally used in the political sphere to describe someone who refused to make concessions or negotiate.
Over time, the meaning of "intransigent" has expanded to include any person who is unwilling to compromise or change their position on a particular issue. It is often used in a negative sense to describe someone who is overly rigid or stubborn.
