will

1. Will
   Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or determine. "Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies."
2. Will
   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.
3. Will
   Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.
4. Will
   That which is strongly wished or desired. "What's your will , good friar?", "The mariner hath his will ."
5. Will
   The choice or determination of one who has authority; a decree; a command; discretionary pleasure. "Thy will be done.", "Our prayers should be according to the will of God."
6. Will
   The choice which is made; a determination or preference which results from the act or exercise of the power of choice; a volition. "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 ."
7. Will
   (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, legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise. See the Note under Testament, 1.
8. Will
   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. "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.", "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.", "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.", "The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses anything."
9. Will
   To be willing; to be inclined or disposed; to be pleased; to wish; to desire.☞ This word has been confused with will, v. i., to choose, which, unlike this, is of the weak conjugation. "And behold, there came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Lord if thou wilt , thou canst make me clean. And Jesus . . . touched him, saying, I will ; be thou clean."
10. Will
    To exercise an act of volition; to choose; to decide; to determine; to decree. "At Winchester he lies, so himself willed .", "He that shall turn his thoughts inward upon what passes in his own mind when he wills .", "I contend for liberty as it signifies a power in man to do as he wills or pleases."
11. Will
    To form a distinct volition of; to determine by an act of choice; to ordain; to decree. "What she will to do or say.", "By all law and reason, that which the Parliament will not, is no more established in this kingdom.", "Two things he [God willeth , that we should be good, and that we should be happy."
12. Will
    To give or direct the disposal of by testament; to bequeath; to devise; as, to will one's estate to a child; also, to order or direct by testament; as, he willed that his nephew should have his watch.
13. Will
    To wish; to desire; to incline to have. "A wife as of herself no thing ne sholde [should Wille in effect, but as her husband wolde would].", "Caleb said unto her, What will thou ?", "They would none of my counsel."

1. (n) will
   An abbreviation of the personal name William.
2. will
   A As an independent verb.
3. will
   To wish; desire; want; be willing to have (a certain thing done): now chiefly used in the subjunctive (optative) preterit form would governing a clause: as, I would that the day were at hand. When in the first person the subject is frequently omitted: as, would that ye had listened to us!
4. will
   Would in optative expressions is often followed by a dative, with or without to, noting the person or power by whom the wish may be fulfilled: hence the phrases would (to) God, would (to) heaven, etc.
5. will
   To have a wish or desire; be willing.
6. will
   B. As an auxiliary, followed by an infinitive without to.
7. will
   To wish, want, like, or agree (to do, etc.); to be (am, is, are, was, etc.) willing (to do, etc.): noting desire, preference, consent, or, negatively, refusal.
8. will
   To be (am, is, are, etc.) determined (to do, etc.): said when one insists on or persists in being or doing something; hence, must, as a matter of will or pertinacity; do (emphatic auxiliary) from choice, wilfulness, determination, or persistence.
9. will
   To make (it) a habit or practice (to do, etc.); be (am, is, are, etc.) accustomed (to do, etc.); do usually: noting frequent or customary action.
10. will
    To be (am, is, are, etc.) sure (to do, etc.); do undoubtedly, inevitably, or of necessity; ought or have (to do, etc.); must: used in incontrovertible or general statements, and often, especially in provincial use, forming a verbphrase signifying no more than the simple verb: as, I'm thinking this will be (that is, this is) your daughter.
11. will
    To be (am, is, are, etc.) ready or about (to do, etc.): said of one on the point of doing something not necessarily accomplished.
12. will
    In future and conditional constructions, to be (am, is, are, etc.) (to do, etc.): in general noting in the first person a promise or determination, and in the second and third mere assertion of a future occurrence without reference to the will of the subject, other verb-phrases being compounded with the auxiliary shall. For a more detailed discrimination between will and shall, see shall, B., 2.
13. will
    In such constructions will is sometimes found where precision would require shall. See shall, B., final note.
14. will
    [Would is often used for will in order to avoid a dogmatic style or to soften blunt or harsh assertions, questions, etc.
15. will
    In all its senses the auxiliary will may be used with an ellipsis of the following infinitive.
16. (n) will
    Wish; desire; pleasure; inclination; choice.
17. (n) will
    That which is wished for or desired; express wish; purpose; determination.
18. (n) will
    Wish; request; command.
19. (n) will
    Expressed wish with regard to the disposal of one's property, or the like, after death; the document containing such expression of one's wishes; especially, in law, the legal declaration of a person's intentions, to take effect after his death. The essential distinction between a will and any other instrument or provision contingent upon death is that a will has no effect whatever until death, and may be freely revoked meanwhile; but a deed which may create or convey an estate in the event of death must take effect as binding the grantor in his life-time. In English law the word will was originally used only of a disposition of real property to take effect at death, the word testament being then used, as in the Roman and civil law, of a disposition of personal property; hence the phrase, now redundant, last will and testament. In modern usage the term will does not necessarily imply an actual disposition of property; for an instrument, executed with the formalities required by law, in which the testator merely appoints a guardian for his child, or merely nominates an executor, leaving the assets to be distributed by the executor among those who would take by law, is a will. In respect of form, that which distinguishes a written will from other instruments consists in the ceremonies which the law requires for a valid execution, for the sake of guarding against mistake, fraud, and undue influence. Nuncupative wills, however, are not subject to these rules. These formalities are generally four:
20. (n) will
    Discretion; free or arbitrary disposal; sufferance; mercy.
21. (n) will
    The faculty of conscious, and especially of deliberate, action. The will should not be confnsed (as it is, however, by different writers) with self-control, desire, choice, or attention, although the first and last of these are special modes of volition. Nor is “willing” a table to move automatically across a room an act of will; for experiment shows that effort of this kind, however strenuous, fails to cause even the willer's own hand or foot to move. Normally, the consciousness of action is merged in sensations coming from the member moved; but in cases of anæsthesia the agent is still aware of being in action, and even more or less of what he is doing. This consciousness always involves a sense of opposition, whether in the form of a struggle or of a triumph, or in the negative aspect of a sense of freedom. (See freedom of the will, below.) We are always aware of some resistance, be it only the inertia of our limbs. Willing thus essentially involves perceptive sensation, the reflexio of Thomas Aquinas. (See reflection, 7.) When the real object with which we are in relation is studied with reference to the predicates attributed to it by the senses, the result is experience; but when the predicates we are inwardly inclined to attach to it are studied out, the operation is deliberation, terminating in choice, and commonly followed by acts of will. This cognitive process is the necessary condition of self-control. By a “strong will” is sometimes, and perhaps most correctly, meant great self-control; but more usually a power of bearing down the wills of others by tiring them out and by a domination like hypnotism is intended.
22. (n) will
    The act of willing; the act of determining a choice or forming a purpose; volition.
23. (n) will
    At pleasure; at discretion. To hold an estate at the will of another is to enjoy the possession at his pleasure, and be liable to be ousted at any time by the lessor or proprietor. See estate at will, under estate.
24. (n) will
    Especially— A testamentary act by two persons jointly uniting in the same instrument, as their will, to take effect after the death of both.
25. (n) will
    A similar instrument to take effect as to each on his or her death. These two classes are more properly termed joint or conjoint.
26. (n) will
    Wills made in connection by two persons pursuant to a compact, binding each to the other to make the dispositions of property thus declared.
27. (n) will
    Wills made to bequeath the effects of the one first dying to the survivor. These two classes, and particularly the last, are more appropriately termed mutual. The legal effect of such wills is often a matter of doubt.
28. (n) will
    The power of doing right on all occasions.
29. (n) will
    That freedom of which we have an immediate consciousness in action. This is, however, only the consciousness of being able to overcome some unspecified resistance to some unspecified extent, which implies and is implied in the fact of resistance, and is in fact but an aspect of the sense of action and reaction.
30. (n) will
    The power of acting from an inward spontaneity, not altogether dominated by motives. This is what most of the metaphysical advocates of the freedom of the will specifically contend for. It is a limitation of the action of causality, even in the material world. Some would restrict the spontaneous power of the mind to making particles swerve without variation of their vis viva; but this is untenable, since the law of action and reaction, which would thus be vitiated, is far more securely proved than that of the conservation of energy, the evidence for which is imperfect, while the objections to it are weighty. It is contended on the one hand that such spontaneity is an indispensable condition of moral action; and on the other that, if it exists, it has no direct reference to morality except this that, so far as a being is spontaneous in this sense, he is free from the moral law as well as from that of causation, and that there is neither sense nor justice in holding him responsible for mere sporadic effects of pure non-cause. Responsibility, it is argued, ought to imply that a man's conduct can be regulated by principles as efficient causes, and is not free from the influence of causation.
31. (n) will
    Sincerity; right intention.
32. will
    To wish; desire.
33. will
    To communicate or express a wish to; desire; request; direct; tell; bid; order; command.
34. will
    To determine by act of choice; decide; decree; ordain; hence, to intend; purpose.
35. will
    To dispose of by will or testament; give as a legacy; bequeath: as, he willed the farm to his nephew.
36. will
    To bring under the influence or control of the will of another; subject to the power of another's will.
37. will
    To wish; desire; prefer; resolve; determine; decree.
38. will
    To exercise the will.
39. will
    Astray; wrong; at a loss; bewildered.
40. will
    To wander; go astray; be lost, at a loss, or bewildered.
