unbeirrbare

Unbeirrbare is a German adjective form of unbeirrbar, meaning "unwavering", "undeterred" or "not to be led astray". It describes persons, attitudes or actions that remain steady in purpose or belief despite obstacles, doubts or external pressures. Common collocations include une unbeirrbare Entschlossenheit (an unwavering determination) and unbeirrbare Überzeugung (unwavering conviction).

Grammatically, unbeirrbar is the base adjective; unbeirrbare appears as a declined form used according to gender, number, case and the presence of articles (for example die unbeirrbare Frau, eine unbeirrbare Haltung, unbeirrbare Menschen). When capitalized as Unbeirrbare it can function as a noun denoting "the unwavering ones" or "those who are steadfast", a usage sometimes found in journalistic or literary contexts.

Etymologically the word combines the negative prefix un- with the verb beirren (to mislead, to cause to err) and the adjective-forming suffix -bar, yielding the sense "not able to be misled". Synonyms in German include standhaft, unerschütterlich and unbeweglich; antonyms include wankelmütig, unsicher or beeinflussbar.
