loggerhead

loggerhead
Noun
pl: loggerheads

The term is most frequently encountered in the idiomatic expression "at loggerheads," which describes a deadlock or a stubborn dispute where neither party is willing to concede. In this specific figurative sense, the word is used exclusively in the plural and functions as a fixed phrase to denote a state of conflict rather than a physical object.

When referring to the sea turtle, the word is used as a standard countable noun. The name derives from the animal's notably large head and strong jaws, which are its most distinguishing physical characteristics.
