Etymology
Resolution comes from the Latin parts re- ('back') and solvere ('to loosen'), the same root as resolve and solution, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of 'loosening' doubts so you can make a firm choice. So a personal 'resolution' is a clear, strong decision to do or not do something.
