Forms: Middle English resolutif, Middle English resolutyf, Middle English resolutyve, Middle English–1500s resolutyue, Middle English–1600s resolutiue, 1500s resolutyfe, 1500s– resolutive.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin resolutivus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin resolutivus analytic (9th cent. in a British source), (in medicine) having the power to disperse humours or inflammation (13th cent. in British sources), (in legal use: of a clause, the terms of an agreement, etc.) embodying a condition whose fulfilment terminates a contract, obligation, etc. (14th cent. or earlier in continental sources) < classical Latin resolūt- , past participial stem of resolvere resolve v. + -īvus -ive suffix. Compare Middle French, French †resolutif , French résolutif serving to resolve morbid humours or material (1314 in Old French; sense A. 2 is apparently not paralleled in French at all, and sense A. 3 only considerably later (1836)), Spanish resolutivo (15th cent.), Italian risolutivo (c1350 as †resolutivo ). Compare resolving adj. With use as noun compare post-classical Latin resolutivum , neuter (late 13th cent. in the passage translated in quot. a1400 at sense B.), Middle French resolutif, French résolutif, noun (end of the 15th cent. in a translation of Lanfranc, subsequently from 1694), Spanish resolutivo (end of the 15th cent.). N.E.D. (1908) gives only the pronunciation (re·zŏlⁱutiv) /ˈrɛzəl(j)uːtɪv/.
