will
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, nominative singular (Gr,N,,,,,NNS): functioning as a singular subject or predicate nominative form. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Will" directly reflects the root θελ- (to will, wish, desire) and the -μα suffix indicating the result or product of willing—"that which is willed." The nominative singular form presents the concept as a single act or expression of volition. |
