Morphology

This adjective–noun combination follows standard English semantics and is immediately inferable by a learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Ironclad resolve uses the strong image of something covered in iron so it cannot be broken. One popular picture is a ship or suit of armor wrapped in iron plates that do not break, so ironclad means very strong and protected and resolve means firm determination, and the phrase means 'a determination that cannot be changed or weakened'.
