Did you actually mean intrenchment or intransigent?
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Intrenchantadjective
This word, which is, I believe, found only in Shakespeare, is thus explained by one of his editors: I believe William Shakespeare intended rather to express the idea of indivisibility or invulnerableness, and derived intrenchant, from in privative, and trencher, to cut; intrenchant is indeed properly not cutting, rather than not to be cut; but this is not the only instance in which William Shakespeare confounds words of active and passive signification.]The intrenchant air means the air which suddenly encroaches and closes upon the space left by any body which had passed through it. Thomas Hanmer
As easy may'st thou the intrenchant air
With thy keen sword impress, as make me bleed. William Shakespeare.
