Howdy!
Thanks for returning to our Western Word of the Day column. The next few weeks I'm drifting a little bit away from what we think of as truly "western" words to focus on some other vocabulary term that I've learned and wanted to share.
Ironclad - impenetrable; unbreakable
Origin of the term: War ships in the 1860's were covered with iron plating and considered rock-solid or undestructable
