Forms: see self- prefix and willing adj.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: self- prefix, will v.¹, -ing suffix², willing adj.

Etymology: < self- prefix + will v.¹ + -ing suffix², after self-will n. In later use directly < self- prefix + willing adj. Compare self-will adj. and later self-willed adj., self-willy adj.With use in Old English (see sense 1) compare Old Icelandic sjálfviljandi of one's own free will, voluntary. Compare also the Old English derivative adverb selfwillendlīce self-determinedly, arbitrarily ( < self-willing adj. + -ly suffix²). Apparently re-formed in the 16th cent.

†1. Apparently: freely given. Cf. self-will adj. 1. Obsolete.
