volency |

† ˈvolency Obs. rare. [ad. L. (post-class.) volentia will, inclination.] The power of willing or determining to act in a certain way.
1686H. More in J. Norris Lett. (1688) 208 Nor can [I] conceive but that the free Agency we are conscious to ourselves of, is placed in the soul as Volent as much as Intelligent, because this Volency, as I may so speak, is implyed in her Attention or Advertency. 1768Tucker Lt. Nat. (1834) I. 552 This is another kind of agency,..and for distinction sake we shall beg leave to call it free volency (for the speculative will allow one another to coin a word upon occasion): so the question is not whether a man be a free agent but a free volent. |
