Resistant to change? I’d heard differently (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
die-hard
'resistant' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'change? i'd heard differently' is the wordplay.
'change?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'differently' is an anagram indicator.
'id' is an anagram of 'di'.
'heard' is an anagram of 'ehard'.
'di'+'ehard'='DIE-HARD'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for die-hard that I've seen before include "One strongly opposing change; I'd heard (anag.)" , "Person who insists on holding traditional views" , "Obstinately conservative" , "One who won't accept novelty" , "Backer of a losing cause" .)
