Thanks for the WOTD, @Jace. Unless heard in context, I wouldn’t have known the meaning of intransigent, maybe not even then.

 

[Kaila]

I thought it means, extremely disagreeable, or perhaps unruly and breaking rules, which does seem close enough to your posted definition, here.

Intransigent is not a word I myself use, when speaking or writing, so I don't readily know a sentence I can offer that uses it, but I would comprehend it, if someone else did.
It's always nice to have a word clarified, in this SF Forum section.

Great example of usage. Thank you, Jace!

Yep. I think that's what he is! Intransigent! (If a dog can be. )

Those homeowners who were intransigent to the Government's offer lost out because their homes were compulsorily acquired at market value.
Would this be correct usage?

 

[Kaila]

He has difficulty doing his job, or enjoying doing it, due to an intransigent co-worker who was hired shortly after he was.
Correct usage?
