Etymology

The word 'unwillingly' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'willingly', which originated from the Old English term 'willan' meaning 'to wish or desire'. Over time, 'willingly' evolved to mean 'in a willing manner', and the addition of the prefix 'un-' created the opposite meaning of 'in an unwilling manner'.

See also: unwilling, willingness.
