† willerdomn.

Forms: late Middle English willerdome.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown.Perhaps < willer n. + -dom suffix. However, since willer n. is very rare in Middle English, and since there appear to be no Middle English formations from words in -er suffix¹ + -dom suffix that could have served as a model, it appears more likely that willerdom is < willard + -dom suffix, perhaps after willardis dom (literally ‘opinion of a willard’: see below), which is attested in the context of religious debate (like quot. a1475, although from an opposed viewpoint):?c1430 (?1383) J. Wyclif Sel. Eng. Wks. (1871) III. 295 Worldly coveitouse prestis tradicions, maad of here owene willardis dom for here pride and coveitise.Willard is perhaps from will adj. (compare sense 1b at that entry) + -ard suffix, perhaps with a punning allusion to will n.¹ and thus an implication of both waywardness and wilfulness; perhaps compare also classical Latin voluntārius arbitrary (see voluntary adj.).

Obsolete. rare.

Wilfulness, self-will.
