✅📝 re-solución: re + solve → solving a problem again until it's settled

Resolución comes from Latin resolvere, 're' (back/again) + 'solvere' (loosen, solve). Solving something firmly gives you a resolution: a decision, a solution, or a firm goal. The English cognate 'resolution' is almost identical, with the same sense.
