Etymology
Etymology Information

The word 'immediately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'immediatus,' where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'medius' meant 'middle.' 'Resolved' comes from Latin 'resolvere,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'solvere' meant 'to loosen.'

Historical Evolution

'Immediately' changed from the Old French word 'immediat,' and 'resolved' evolved from the Old French 'resolver,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'immediately' and 'resolved.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'immediately' meant 'without anything in between,' and 'resolved' meant 'to loosen or release.' Over time, they evolved to mean 'without delay' and 'to solve or settle,' respectively.
