      1. 1. vŏluntāte, meâ (suâ) voluntate (of one's own will or determination, opp. vi or invitus et coactus): when (Regulus) had v. returned to Carthage, quum sua v., nulla vi coactus, Carthaginem revertisset, Cic. Fin. 2, 20, 65: the other states v. submitted, aliae civitates v. in ditionem venerunt, Liv. 29, 38, ad init.
      2. 2. sponte, meâ (suâ) sponte (of one's own motion or impulse, not prompted by external compulsion, inducement, or assistance): whether v. or summoned by decree of the senate, sive ipse s. sua, sive senatus-consulto accitus, id. 10, 25: he replied that he had spoken v., s. dixisse respondit, Tac. A. 1, 8. Join: sua sponte et voluntate, Cic. Part. 37, 131.
      3. 3. ultro connected with ille (il, ol, ul), opp. citro (v. Dr. Smith's Lat. Dict.), implying doing, over and above, something not asked or expected, may often be rendered even, actually, nay more: good men came forward v. to support Plancius, viri boni Plancio se u. offerebant, Cic. Planc. 10, 26: I could wish for nothing which Caesar has not bestowed on me v., nec mihi quidquam in mentem venit optare quod non u. mihi Caesar detulerit, id. Fam. 4, 13, 2: Join: ultro et sponte, Suet.
      4. 4. lĭbenter (lŭb.): v. willingly, readily. [Note.--Vŏluntārie is late: Arn.: Hyg.] Phr.: may be expr. by ipse: there is nothing which I think Caesar will not v. grant, nihil est quod non ipsum Caesarem tributurum existimem (of himself), ib. 6, 13, 2: v. voluntary. I went v. to destruction, prudens et sciens ad pestem ante oculos positam sum profectus (with my eyes open), Cic. Fam. 6, 6, 6.
