resueltos

Resueltos is the plural form of resuelto, an adjective and past participle in Spanish. It describes things that have been solved, settled, or decided, such as problems, questions, disputes, or situations. As a masculine plural adjective, resueltos modifies masculine plural nouns, for example, “problemas resueltos” or “casos resueltos.”

Etymology: Resuelto comes from resolver, which in turn derives from Latin resolutus, the past participle of resolvere (to loosen, to undo, to solve). Through its evolution in Spanish, resuelto acquired the sense of something that has been completed or brought to a conclusion, and resueltos serves as its plural form.

Usage and context: In mathematics, education, and problem-solving discourse, “problemas resueltos” refers to exercises that have been worked out and include solutions. In general language, it is used for questions or issues that have been addressed: “La cuestión está resuelta” (the matter is resolved). The term can also appear in contexts describing outcomes, such as a “conflicto resuelto” (resolved conflict) or a “asunto resuelto” (settled matter). While resuelto can also describe a person who is determined or decisive, the plural form resueltos would typically modify masculine plural nouns and is less common when referring to qualities of people; in feminine contexts, forms like resuelta or resueltas are used.
