uncompromisingness
Refusal to bend
The quality of being unwilling to make concessions or find middle ground.
Uncompromisingness suggests rigid adherence to principles, demands, or positions: Her uncompromisingness on the budget alienated potential allies.
The word is cumbersome; speakers often prefer phrases like "refusal to compromise" or simply "stubbornness."
