VOLUNTARY
voluntarius (ἐθελούσιος ἐθελοντής from one’s own choice): volens (of one’s own will; opposed to coactus): non coactus non invitus (without compulsion or external incitement ἑκών ἑκούσιος). ☞ spontaneus (αὐτόματος) and ultroneus (αὐτοκέλευστος) differing as sponte and ultro not identical with voluntarius occur first in Sen. Ep. and Quint. 2 59 7 and were probably formed by Sen. for his philosophical style. Instead of them we usually find sponte and ultro with a participle suited to the context; e.g. a voluntary motion motus sua sponte factus (for motus spontaneus in Sen.) etc.
