Morphology

high-resolution = high + resolution (transparent) = high + resolution

Meaning is directly built from 'high' (large/greater) + 'resolution' (level of detail), a regular and productive descriptive compound.

Etymology

High-resolution comes from high ('great' or 'large') and resolution ('level of detail'). Think of a picture made of many tiny dots called pixels: with high resolution there are more dots, so the image looks sharp and shows fine detail.
