You can picture resolution as the moment a tangled knot finally comes loose: a mess of threads gets pulled apart, sorted out, and settled — whether the knot is a problem, an argument, or a mind.
From the word’s history
From Latin resolvere = re- + solvere 'to loosen, untie, release, explain'; resolutio meant 'a loosening, a breaking into parts'. The modern senses all grow from this picture of loosening/untangling: untying a problem, settling a matter after breaking it down, a mind made firm after the wavering is resolved, and an image broken finely enough into parts to be seen clearly.
來自拉丁文 resolvere，由 re- 加上 solvere（鬆開、解開、釋放、講清楚）組成，resolutio 原意是「鬆開、拆解成細部」。現代各種意思都從這個「把纏繞的東西鬆開、拆解」的畫面長出來：解開難題、把事情拆開分析後拍板、心裡的猶豫被解開後變得堅定、影像被拆解到夠細因而清晰。
