indomitable

Impossible to defeat

Indomitable describes a spirit or will that cannot be subdued or overcome.

The word implies stubborn persistence in the face of opposition or hardship: her indomitable courage, an indomitable fighter.

Someone indomitable keeps going when others would quit.

The tone is admiring—indomitable suggests heroic resilience rather than mere stubbornness.
