Re-solve is a word that means to find a solution again, to deal with a problem that has reappeared or to re-establish clear understanding. Some antonyms of the word re-solve are simplify, ignore, abandon, or exacerbate. When we simplify a complex issue, we try to break down its complexity using easier terms that everyone can understand. Ignoring a problem or pretending it doesn't exist is another way of avoiding the need for a solution. Abandonment involves giving up altogether, failing to find a resolution that works. Finally, to exacerbate a problem is to make it worse by making irrational decisions that ultimately create more difficulty.
