Etymology

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.

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun The act, operation, or process of resolving. Specifically: (a) The act of separating a compound into its elements or component parts.
  2. noun The state of being relaxed; relaxation. [Obs.]

Etymology [F. résolution. L. resolutio a loosening, solution. See Resolve.]
