To resolve is: "to make decision: to come to a firm decision about something, to find a solution to a problem, to bring a disagreement to an end , to dispel doubts or anxieties , or to change into something else."
"O! that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew" (William Shakespeare's Hamlet )
