Obdurate
Pronounced:
< Ob-jer-rit >
< Ob-jer-rit >
(looks like rate, but is said like rite)
It means:
Not moved by pity. Stubborn against good advice.
Daily use:
The obdurate boss would not listen to our complaints. We still had to work late.
The obdurate boss would not listen to our complaints. We still had to work late.
Memory trick:
obdurate
ob (reminds of) = object or refuse
dur (reminds of) = duration or forever
ate (reminds of) = ate or already eaten
I object forever to your words, I have already eaten my own words
I reject your advice forever, I have my own.
Listen: Obdurate
