stubborn refusal to change

A strong and often unreasonable refusal to change what you think or do.

उपयोग पैटर्न: [someone]'s obstinacy in [doing something]
आम गलती:
Learners sometimes confuse "obstinacy" with "obstacle". "Obstinacy" is a personality trait (stubbornness), while an "obstacle" is a thing that blocks progress. Also, learners may say *"do obstinacy"*; instead, use structures like "because of his obstinacy" or "his obstinacy in refusing".
