About
The character "倔", denoting stubbornness, is formed by the person radical 亻 alongside the component 屈, which implies bending or yielding, thus pictorially representing a person who refuses to submit. Its etymology stems from this structural opposition, and while the character historically could indicate a rough or blunt demeanor in addition to inflexibility, its semantic range has gradually concentrated on the quality of being unyielding and obstinate, demonstrating a subtle shift in emphasis over time without altering its fundamental compositional logic.
