The word for today is…

indomitable (adjective):  
  
: incapable of being subdued  
  
Source :[ Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/indomitable?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : The prefix in- means “not” in numerous English words (think of indecent, indecisive, inconvenient, and infallible). When in- teamed up with the Latin domitare (“to tame”), the result was a word meaning “unable to be tamed.” Indomitable was first used in English in the 1600s as a synonym of wild, but over time the wildness associated with indomitable developed into a specific kind of strength. By the 1800s, indomitable was being used for people whose courage and persistence helped them to succeed in difficult situations.
