Etymology

The word 'willed' originates from the Old English term 'wyllan', which means 'to wish' or 'to desire'. The evolution of the term reflects a transition from merely expressing a desire to embodying a sense of determination and intentional action. In Middle English, the word transformed into 'willen', signifying the act of wanting or intending something. Over time, this concept developed further, illustrating not just a desire but also an effort to manifest that desire into reality through willpower. The modern use of 'willed' conveys a strong sense of agency and determination, often associated with personal growth and achievement.
