英语词汇intransigent的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

intransigent. Los Intransigentes was the nickname of a Span- ish political party that tried to introduce a form of communism into Spain in 1873, five years after Queen Isabella II had been deposed and the country was without a sovereign. This splinter group, the left wing of a party favoring a republic, called them- selves “the volunteers of liberty,” but they were dubbed Intran- sigentes (in, the Latin for “not,” and transigo, Latin for “to come to an agreement”) because they stubbornly refused to compro- mise in any way with other political viewpoints. A dictator out- lawed the party the following year, and in 1875 Isabella’s son Alfonso restored the monarchy, but Los Intransigentes lived on. Their name quickly came into English as Intransigeant, and then intransigent, meaning “any unyielding, inflexible person or doctrine.”
