willyn.2

Brit. /ˈwɪli/, U.S. /ˈwɪli/
Forms: 1800s wullie (Scottish), 1800s– willy, 1900s– willie.
Origin: Apparently from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Willy.
Etymology: Apparently < Willy, pet form of the male forename William (see William n.; compare -y suffix6), although it is uncertain that all the uses covered in this entry have this origin.With sense 1 compare willock n., willet n., and see further the bird names listed in Eng. Dial. Dict. at Willy, sb.1 and Scottish National Dict. at Willie, prop. n.; the names as applied to the guillemot are probably all ultimately imitative of the high-pitched call of the juvenile. With willy boy n. at Compounds perhaps compare willies n.
1. Any of various birds; esp. a guillemot. Also as a modifier. Cf. willock n.Recorded earliest in willy wagtail n. at Compounds.

willyn.3

Brit. /ˈwɪli/, U.S. /ˈwɪli/
Forms: 1800s– willies (plural), 1800s– willy, 1900s– willie.
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: whirly adj.
Etymology: Probably reflecting a pronunciation of whirly adj. Compare slightly later williwaw n., which is probably related.Compare woolly in similar use (from the 19th cent. onwards, chiefly with reference to waters near Alaska, but also in the early 20th cent. to the Falkland Islands), which probably shows a shortening of williwaw n. (compare forms at that entry). The similarity in form with Australian English willy-willy n., denoting a dust storm, is apparently coincidental.
A sudden squall; a small whirlwind or waterspout. Cf. williwaw n.In early use frequently associated with the South Atlantic (Tristan da Cunha).

willyadj.

Brit. /ˈwɪli/, U.S. /ˈwɪli/, Scottish English /ˈwɪlɪ/
Forms: Middle English wille, Middle English willi, Middle English wyly, Middle English 1600s willie, Middle English–1500s wylly, Middle English–1700s willy, 1500s wylle; Scottish pre-1700 wille, pre-1700 wylly, pre-1700 1700s–1800s willy, pre-1700 1700s– willie; N.E.D. (1926) also records a form late Middle English wyle.
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on an early Scandinavian lexical item. Etymons: will n.1, -y suffix1.
Etymology: Apparently < will n.1 + -y suffix1, perhaps after either willy adv. or early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic viljugr , Old Swedish viliogher (Swedish villig ), Old Danish villigh (Danish villig ), all in a range of senses ‘willing, compliant, ready, agreeable, voluntary’). Compare unwilly adj.Compare Old Frisian willich, Old Dutch willig (Middle Dutch willich, Dutch willig), Old Saxon willig (Middle Low German willich), and Old High German willīg, willīc (Middle High German willec, willic, German willig), all in a similar range of senses to the Scandinavian forms cited above.
Now Scottish and rare.
1. As the second element in compounds forming adjectives with the sense ‘having (a) —— will’, as in evil-willy adj., goodwilly adj., ill-willy adj., self-willy adj., well-willy adj.Recorded earliest in great-willy adj.

willyadv.

Forms: Old English willice, Old English wyllice, Middle English willeliche, Middle English willi, Middle English williche, Middle English willy.
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: will n.1, -ly suffix2.
Etymology: Apparently < will n.1 + -ly suffix2, but with the first element perhaps compare Old English -wille , only attested as an element in compound adjectives (see self-will adj.; compare also Old English ānwillīce stubbornly < onwil adj. + -ly suffix2). Compare Old Dutch willigo (Dutch willig ), Old High German willigo (Middle High German willīche , German willig ), and Old Icelandic viljanliga . Compare willy adj., willingly adv., and self-willy adv.The continental Germanic adverbs are attested alongside suffixed adjectives from which they are apparently derived (see the Germanic parallels cited at willy adj. and compare -ly suffix1). However, willy adj. is not attested until later Middle English.
Obsolete.
Willingly, voluntarily.
