Etymology
The word 'willing' comes from the Old English 'wilnian,' which meant 'to wish' or 'to desire.' This evolved into Middle English as 'willing,' meaning to be inclined or ready to do something. The superlative form 'willingest' follows the regular pattern of forming comparatives and superlatives in English, where the suffix '-est' is added to existing adjectives. While 'willing' is commonly used in conversation and writing, 'willingest' is less frequently encountered, but it functions grammatically to denote the highest degree of willingness among a group. Due to its construction, 'willingest' is often seen in informal contexts and may carry an emphasis on the eagerness or readiness of an individual compared to others.
