The word "most intransigent" does not have its own etymology as it is a combination of two separate words: "most" and "intransigent".
The word "most" originated from Old English "most", which meant "greatest" or "largest". It has its roots in the Germanic languages and is related to the Old High German "mest" and Old Norse "mestr".
On the other hand, "intransigent" comes from the Latin word "intransigens" (in-"not" + transigere "come to an agreement"). It was first used in English in the late 19th century to describe a person who refuses to compromise or change their views, especially in politics or beliefs.
