adamantine

Impossible to break

Adamantine means extremely hard, unbreakable, or unyielding.

The word derives from adamas, an ancient term for the hardest substance known—later applied to diamond.

An adamantine will cannot be bent.

Adamantine resolve suggests determination that nothing can shatter.

The word is literary and formal, evoking mythic or poetic strength rather than everyday toughness.
