覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
resolution「解像度」に複数の -s が付いた形で、語末は /z/ と発音する。画面そのものの大きさではなく、画像をどれほど細かく表せるかという設定を指す。several resolutions、choose different resolutions、test at three resolutions のように、複数の画質設定を比較する場面で覚える。
Connect resolutions with the singular technical term resolution, then add the regular plural -s, pronounced /z/ here. Do not confuse resolution with the physical size of a screen: it describes the amount of visual detail that an image or display can represent, commonly shown through pixel dimensions. Imagine opening a video settings menu and choosing among several resolutions. Phrases such as different resolutions, supports several resolutions, and tested at three resolutions make the plural meaning clear because multiple detail settings are being compared.

resolutions の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 resolvere（解きほぐす）が語源。re-（再び）+ solvere（緩める）から成り、複雑なものを分解して明確にすることを意味する。画像の「解像度」は細部をどこまで分解できるかの意。関連語: resolve（解決する）、dissolve（溶解する）。
Resolutions is the plural of resolution. Resolution ultimately comes from Latin resolutio and resolvere, formed from re- and solvere, “to loosen” or “release.” The word developed several meanings involving separation, analysis, and determination. In optics and digital imaging, resolution refers to the ability to distinguish or represent separate fine details; the plural denotes multiple degrees, measurements, or settings of that ability.
