obstinate
의미: Stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action despite persuasion or good reason to do so.
Obstinate is clearly negative, implying unreasonable stubbornness. Unlike 'resolute' or 'determined' (which are admiring), obstinate suggests that the person is wrong or being difficult. It can also describe things that resist change or removal (an obstinate stain). It collocates with 'refusal,' 'resistance,' 'child,' 'mule,' and 'defence.'
