Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'loosen, dissolve, untie'): from Latin solvere 'loosen, unfasten'.

The early senses of solve were ‘loosen, dissolve, untie’; the source is Latin solvere ‘loosen, unfasten’. Other words sharing this base are late Middle English soluble and solution, and mid 17th century solvent. From the same Latin root come absolve (Late Middle English) ‘loosen from’; dissolve (Late Middle English) ‘loosen apart’; dissolute (Late Middle English) of loose morals; and resolve (Late Middle English) ‘thoroughly loosen’.

Rhymes

absolve, devolve, evolve, exsolve, involve, revolve
