“Resolute” used by queen during her address. Coincidence?
curiously that word keeps coming up
Took me a minute to find it on BBC so I missed a little. I missed that. OR it went over my head. Some things about it reminded me of the cryptic hollyweirdo videos they have been putting out recently. I need to listen to it again.
resolute (adj.)
early 15c., “dissolved, of loose structure,” also “morally lax,” from Latin resolutus, past participle of resolvere “untie, unfasten, loose, loosen” (see resolve). Meaning “determined, decided, absolute, final” is from c. 1500, especially in resolute answer, a phrase “common in 16th c.” [OED]. From 1530s of persons. The notion is of “breaking (something) into parts” as the way to arrive at the truth of it and thus make the final determination (compare resolution).
Good catch!
Connected to POTUS’ saying “Resolute” twice on Friday (Saturday?) during his briefing?
