'clearly-resolved' originates from the combination of 'clear' and 'resolve', where 'clear' meant 'free from doubt' and 'resolve' meant 'to find a solution'.

'clearly-resolved' evolved from the Middle English word 'resolven', which meant 'to dissolve or solve'.

Initially, it meant 'to solve or dissolve something', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'something that is made clear and resolved'.
