die-hard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one resisting change' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'hera did somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hera'+'did'='heradid'
'heradid' is an anagram of 'DIE-HARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for die-hard that I've seen before include "Obstinately resistant to change" , "Obstinate or dauntless person" , "Person who insists on holding traditional views" , "Ultra-conservative" , "Obstinately conservative" .)
