Root Explanation

Resolute → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "solutus" (from the verb "solvere", meaning to loosen or free). The word "resolute" means having a firm determination or being free from doubt, as if one has resolved to act decisively again.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is determined and has made a firm decision 'again' ('re-') to 'free' themselves from uncertainty ('solutus'). This helps you remember that 'resolute' means being firmly determined.
