A hide-bound pedant refers to a person who is excessively concerned with minor details or rules, often to the point of being rigid and inflexible in their thinking. This term combines "hide-bound," which suggests a narrow-minded or conservative attitude, with "pedant," which describes someone who is overly focused on formalities and trivial points of knowledge. Together, they characterize an individual who prioritizes strict adherence to established norms over creativity or broader understanding.
