Now tell me how it’s different from “obstinate”

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

My guess is Obdurate seems to be specifically regarding stubborn wrongdoing while obstinate is more generally stubborn; right or wrong.

ETA: Ok - I’ve looked them up now and looks like my guess wasn’t right. I’m honestly more uncertain now. Any difference is more nuanced than I’d expected.
