Will
\Will\, n. [OE. wille, AS. willa; akin to OFries. willa,
OS. willeo, willio, D. wil, G. wille, Icel. vili, Dan.
villie, Sw. vilja, Goth wilja. See
Will, v.]
[1913 Webster]
1. The power of choosing; the faculty or endowment of the
soul by which it is capable of choosing; the faculty or
power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do;
the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two
or more objects.
[1913 Webster]
It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is
meant by the word
“volition” in order to
understand the import of the word will, for this
last word expresses the power of mind of which
“volition” is the act. --Stewart.
[1913 Webster]
Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for
the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of
that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But
“volition” always signifies the act of willing,
and nothing else. --Reid.
[1913 Webster]
Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is
appetite's controller; what we covet according to
the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker.
[1913 Webster]
The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses
anything. --J. Edwards.
[1913 Webster]
2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference
which results from the act or exercise of the power of
choice; a volition.
[1913 Webster]
The word
“will,” however, is not always used in
this its proper acceptation, but is frequently
substituted for
“volition”, as when I say that my
hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart.
[1913 Webster]
3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a
decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.
[1913 Webster]
Thy will be done. --Matt. vi.
10.
[1913 Webster]
Our prayers should be according to the will of God.
--Law.
[1913 Webster]
4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.
[1913 Webster]
Note: ``Inclination is another word with which will is
frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says,
in Romeo and Juliet,
[1913 Webster]
My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . .
Put this in any liquid thing you will,
And drink it off.
[1913 Webster] the word will is plainly used as,
synonymous with inclination; not in the strict logical
sense, as the immediate antecedent of action. It is
with the same latitude that the word is used in common
conversation, when we speak of doing a thing which duty
prescribes, against one's own will; or when we speak of
doing a thing willingly or unwillingly.'' --Stewart.
[1913 Webster]
5. That which is strongly wished or desired.
[1913 Webster]
What's your will, good friar? --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
The mariner hath his will. --Coleridge.
[1913 Webster]
6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or
determine.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies.
--Ps. xxvii.
12.
[1913 Webster]
7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the
manner in which he would have his property or estate
disposed of after his death; the written instrument,

See the Note under
Testament, 1.

Nuncupative will, under
Nuncupative.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
Will
\Will\, v. t. & auxiliary. [imp.
Would. Indic. present, I
will (Obs. I wol), thou wilt, he will (Obs. he wol); we, ye,
they will.] [OE. willen, imp. wolde; akin to OS. willan,
OFries. willa, D. willen, G. wollen, OHG. wollan, wellan,
Icel. & Sw. vilja, Dan. ville, Goth. wiljan, OSlav. voliti,
L. velle to wish, volo I wish; cf. Skr. v[.r] to choose, to
prefer. Cf.
Voluntary,
Welcome,
Well, adv.]
[1913 Webster]
1. To wish; to desire; to incline to have.
[1913 Webster]
A wife as of herself no thing ne sholde [should]
Wille in effect, but as her husband wolde [would].
--Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]
Caleb said unto her, What will thou ? --Judg. i. 14.
[1913 Webster]
They would none of my counsel. --Prov. i. 30.
[1913 Webster]
2. As an auxiliary, will is used to denote futurity dependent
on the verb. Thus, in first person,
“I will” denotes
willingness, consent, promise; and when
“will” is
emphasized, it denotes determination or fixed purpose; as,
I will go if you wish; I will go at all hazards. In the
second and third persons, the idea of distinct volition,
wish, or purpose is evanescent, and simple certainty is
appropriately expressed; as,
“You will go,” or
“He will
go,” describes a future event as a fact only. To
emphasize will denotes (according to the tone or context)
certain futurity or fixed determination.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Will, auxiliary, may be used elliptically for will go.
“I'll to her lodgings.” --Marlowe.
[1913 Webster]
Note: As in shall (which see), the second and third persons
may be virtually converted into the first, either by
question or indirect statement, so as to receive the
meaning which belongs to will in that person; thus,
“Will you go?” (answer,
“I will go”) asks assent,
requests, etc.; while
“Will he go?” simply inquires
concerning futurity; thus, also,
“He says or thinks he
will go,” “You say or think you will go,” both
signify willingness or consent.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Would, as the preterit of will, is chiefly employed in
conditional, subjunctive, or optative senses; as, he
would go if he could; he could go if he would; he said
that he would go; I would fain go, but can not; I would
that I were young again; and other like phrases. In the
last use, the first personal pronoun is often omitted;
as, would that he were here; would to Heaven that it
were so; and, omitting the to in such an adjuration.
“Would God I had died for thee.” Would is used for
both present and future time, in conditional
propositions, and would have for past time; as, he
would go now if he were ready; if it should rain, he
would not go; he would have gone, had he been able.
Would not, as also will not, signifies refusal.
“He
was angry, and would not go in.” --Luke xv. 28. Would
is never a past participle.
[1913 Webster]
Note: In Ireland, Scotland, and the United States, especially
in the southern and western portions of the United
States, shall and will, should and would, are often
misused, as in the following examples:
[1913 Webster]
I am able to devote as much time and attention to
other subjects as I will [shall] be under the
necessity of doing next winter. --Chalmers.
[1913 Webster]
A countryman, telling us what he had seen,
remarked that if the conflagration went on, as it
was doing, we would [should] have, as our next
season's employment, the Old Town of Edinburgh to
rebuild. --H. Miller.
[1913 Webster]
I feel assured that I will [shall] not have the
misfortune to find conflicting views held by one
so enlightened as your excellency. --J. Y. Mason.
[1913 Webster]
