Definitions

  1. finding a solution to a problem

Word origin

Recorded since 1412, as Middle English resolucioun (“dissolution”), either from Anglo-Norman resolucion or directly from Latin resolūtiō (“a loosening, solution”), from resolvō (“to loosen”), itself from the intensive prefix re- + solvō (“to loosen”). By surface analysis, recognizably related to resolve and -tion.

Used in a sentence

  • His stalwart resolution is perhaps admirable, perhaps foolish.
  • By February, most New Year’s resolutions are forgotten.
  • My resolution is to cut back on the fast food this year.
