Add the third-person singular present ending -s to resolve, “to solve or settle.” The ending is pronounced /z/. Picture untangling a difficulty until the problem is resolved.

resolves の語源・成り立ち Etymology
resolves は resolve の活用形で、古フランス語経由でラテン語 resolvere に由来する。re- と solvere「ゆるめる・ほどく」からでき、solution, dissolve と同根。もともと「もつれをほどく」感覚なので、「問題を解決する」という意味になった。
Resolves is the third-person singular present form of resolve. Resolve entered English through Old French from Latin resolvere, combining re- with solvere, “to loosen, release, or untie.” This source also connects it with words such as solution and dissolve. The physical idea of loosening or separating developed into the figurative sense of untangling a difficulty and therefore settling a problem, conflict, or unanswered question.
