implacability
Refusal to soften
Implacability is the quality of being impossible to appease or pacify.
Someone with implacability refuses to soften, forgive, or relent: The implacability of her grudge unnerved him.
The word suggests a relentlessness that no pleading or compromise can overcome—an enemy's implacability, fate's implacability, the implacability of time.
