Etymology

The word 'resolvability' is derived from the verb 'resolve' which comes from the Latin 'resolvere', meaning 'to loosen, release, or break up'. The concept of resolving or solving a problem has been a fundamental part of human history, with mathematics being one of the earliest fields to formalize the idea of resolvability.
