Usage Note

Resolutivo describes a person, approach, or measure that is effective at solving problems — it is a positive quality word common in professional and journalistic Spanish. It is not a direct cognate of English 'resolutive'; the closer English equivalent is 'effective' or 'problem-solving'. In medicine, tratamiento resolutivo can describe a treatment that resolves a condition rather than merely managing it.
