See the Note under Testament, 1.
- adv. - To wish; to desire; to incline to have.
- adv. - 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.
- v. i. - To be willing; to be inclined or disposed; to be pleased; to wish; to desire.
- n. - To form a distinct volition of; to determine by an act of choice; to ordain; to decree.
- n. - To enjoin or command, as that which is determined by an act of volition; to direct; to order.
