stubborn refusal to be persuaded
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); abstract noun formed with -εια indicating a state or quality. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the alpha-privative negation of πείθω (to persuade), expressing a settled state of resistance to persuasion. As an accusative feminine singular abstract noun, it denotes this condition as the direct object within a clause. |
