'fairly' originates from Old English 'fægerlice', meaning 'beautifully' or 'pleasantly', and 'resolved' comes from Latin 'resolvere', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'solvere' meant 'to loosen'.

'fairly' evolved from Middle English 'fairliche', and 'resolved' transformed from Old French 'resolver', eventually becoming the modern English word 'resolved'.

Initially, 'fairly' meant 'beautifully', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'moderately'. 'Resolved' has largely retained its meaning of 'settled or determined'.
