stubborn refusal to change

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

استعمال کا انداز: [someone]'s obstinacy in [doing something]
عام غلطی:
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".

When a problem or thing is very hard to remove or fix, even after many tries.

persistence (Neutral; does not carry the negative, frustrating tone that "obstinacy" has.) | intractability (Formal and often technical; commonly used for very hard problems or conflicts.)
متضاد الفاظ
removability (Emphasizes that something can be taken away or erased without much difficulty.) | tractability (Formal; describes something that is easy to manage or solve.)
