unshiftable
Cannot be moved
Unable to be shifted or moved from its position.
The word applies both literally—an unshiftable boulder blocking the path—and figuratively to opinions, attitudes, or people who refuse to budge: Her views on the matter were unshiftable.
The prefix un- negates shiftable, emphasizing immovability or stubbornness.
