Not flexible or able to bend; stiff and firm, or strict and inflexible in rules, beliefs, or attitudes.

Where the word comes from

From Latin rigidus, meaning "stiff" or "unbending," derived from rigere, "to be stiff."

The word entered Middle English and Old French before settling into its modern English form, retaining its core sense of physical or moral inflexibility.
