Etymology

The term 'pigheaded' originated in the mid-19th century, combining the word 'pig' as a derogatory term for a person considered greedy, obstinate, or disgusting, with 'headed' to emphasize the stubbornness or strong-willed nature of the individual. Over time, 'pigheaded' has become a commonly used term to describe someone who is unreasonably obstinate or stubborn in their beliefs or actions.
