will (adv.)
To wish; to desire; to incline to have.
As an auxiliary, will is used to denote futurity dependent on the verb. Thus, in first person, I will denotes willingness, consent, promise; and when will is emphasized, it denotes determination or fixed purpose; as, I will go if you wish; I will go at all hazards. In the second and third persons, the idea of distinct volition, wish, or purpose is evanescent, and simple certainty is appropriately expressed; as, You will go, or He will go, describes a future event as a fact only. To emphasize will denotes (according to the tone or context) certain futurity or fixed determination.
will (v. i.)
To be willing; to be inclined or disposed; to be pleased; to wish; to desire.
