Resolved
RESOLV'ED, participle passive
1. Separated into its component parts; analyzed.
2. Determined in purpose; as, I am resolved not to keep company with gamesters. This phrase is properly, 'I have resolved; ' as we say, a person is deceased, or has deceased; he is retired, or has retired. In these phrases, the participle is rather an adjective.
