Resolutionare

Resolutionare is a neologism used in some English- and Italian-language discourse to describe the process of achieving a formal decision or resolution on a matter. Used as a verb, it denotes guiding a discussion toward a formal outcome; the noun form remains "resolution."

Origins and usage are uncertain in standard references, and the term is not widely recognized in dictionaries. It appears mainly in online discussions, governance forums, and some project-management glossaries, where speakers seek a compact way to describe moving from deliberation to a formal decision.

In practice, resolutionare refers to activities that precede and accompany the issuance of a formal resolution. Typical components include identifying the issue, negotiating options, drafting language for a resolution, and obtaining approval from the requisite body. Because it is informal and not widely standardized, its precise meaning can vary by community or organization.

Limitations and reception are notable. As a nonstandard term, resolutionare can promote ambiguity in formal writing or cross-cultural communication. Proponents view it as a concise way to describe a common governance workflow, while critics argue it obfuscates by importing a non-English verb form into professional contexts.
