Recalcitrant is an adjective – pronounced ‘re-cal-si-trunt’ – that is used to describe someone being stubborn or uncooperative, particularly toward someone with authority.
For example:
Mrs Spowage got annoyed with her recalcitrant Year 11s.
See if you can slip it into conversation over the holiday!
