double-dyed
Double-dyed generally means thoroughly or deeply ingrained, most often referring to a characteristic, conviction, or belief. It originates from the process of dying material twice to achieve a deep, rich color. Hence, metaphorically, if someone is double-dyed, their traits or perspectives are considered strongly embedded and cannot be easily changed.
Webster Dictionary
Double-dyedadjective
dyed twice; thoroughly or intensely colored; hence; firmly fixed in opinions or habits; as, a double-dyed villain
