Resolvendo

Resolvendo is the gerund form of the Portuguese verb resolver, meaning the act of solving or resolving something in progress. It denotes that an action aimed at reaching a solution is currently taking place. The term derives from Latin resolvere, with related forms such as resolve and resolução in related languages.

In grammar, resolvendo is used with auxiliary verbs to express continuous or ongoing action, as in Estou resolvendo o problema (I am solving the problem) or Estamos resolvendo as questões. It can also introduce accompanying actions, for example: Resolvendo as questões, eles definiram uma solução. The gerund is common in both formal and informal writing, though stylistic choices may vary between Brazilian and European Portuguese.

In everyday and professional contexts, resolvendo appears across domains where problem solving or decision making is involved. In mathematics, science, law, and education, it signals the process of finding a solution or establishing a result. In information technology and networking, resolvendo is frequently used to describe DNS resolution, where a resolver translates a domain name into an IP address. The term also appears in IT documentation and discussions about software dependencies, for example, “resolvendo dependências” to indicate the process of determining required components.

Etymology and related terms: resolvido (solved), resolução (resolution), resolver (to solve or a program/library that performs resolution). While primarily a Portuguese term, similar gerund forms exist in other Romance languages, reflecting the universal concept of solving or settling an issue.
