Conjugation
[edit]

The present infinitive velle, descends from the athematic infinitive form Proto-Italic *wel-zi (*-zi being the source of the usual infinitive ending -re as well). The second person singular present form vīs is suppletive, and belongs to the root Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁- (“to strive after, pursue”); the original form appears to be preserved as the conjunction vel (“or; and/or”), from *wels).

Reflexes of Later voleō:

Etymology 2

[edit]

Ultimately from the root *gʷelH- (“to throw”). De Vaan suggests that the term may derive from Proto-Italic *gʷelāō, itself perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gʷélh₁-ye-ti (“to throw, raise the arm”). Alternatively, De Vaan suggests a possible reduplicated intensive pre-form *gʷe(l)-gʷolh₁-ye/o. According to De Vaan, the sense of “to lift the arm” may have shifted to “to fly” on the basis of the flight mechanisms of birds.[1]
