Origin

Recorded since 1412, as Middle English resolucioun (“dissolution”), either from Anglo-Norm

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.
