unyieldingness

/ənˈjiɫdɪŋnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being unyielding.

Word Origin 'Yield' from Proto-Germanic geldan 'to pay, give' — to yield is to give way, to produce. The prefix un- negates it, -ing makes it an adjective, and -ness makes it a noun, so unyieldingness is literally 'the state of not giving way.' The root also gives 'yield' as in crop yield (what the land pays) and 'geld' (to castrate, from a sense of payment).
