unyielded
Not given up
Unyielded describes something that has not been surrendered, given up, or conceded.
Land remains unyielded when not ceded to another power; a position stays unyielded when someone refuses to back down.
The word emphasizes resistance or retention in the face of pressure: The fortress stood unyielded after months of siege.
