Morphology
resolution = resolve (transparent) = resolut + ion
The meaning is directly derived from 'resolve' with the suffix '-ion' indicating the act or process of resolving.
Etymology
Resolution comes from the Latin parts re- ('back') and solvere ('to loosen'), the same root as solve and solution. So a 'resolution' is the act of 'loosening' a problem — in other words, solving or settling it.
