resolved
UK: rɪˈzɒlvd | US: rɪˈzɑːlvd
adj. firmly determined to do something
adj. (of a problem or question) settled or solved
v. past tense and past participle of "resolve" (to decide firmly or find a solution)
The word "resolved" originates from Latin resolvere ("to loosen again, release, dissolve"), combining re- (indicating repetition) and solvere ("to loosen"). Over time, the meaning evolved metaphorically from physical loosening (e.g., untying knots) to abstract problem-solving or firm decision-making. The suffix -ed marks it as a past participle, often functioning adjectivally in modern English (e.g., "a resolved issue").
She remained resolved to finish the project despite setbacks.

His resolved expression showed no sign of doubt.
The committee resolved to implement the new policy immediately.
