Outline
• voluntary:
      1. 1. vŏluntārius (of persons and things): (i. of persons) After procuring v. auxiliaries, quum v. auxilia comparavissem, Cic. Fam. 15, 4, 3: a v. agent, v. procurator, id. Brut. 4, 17. (ii. of things) I must die a v. death, consciscenda mors v., id. Fam. 7, 3, 3: Liv. 6, 1, med.: they hoped for a v. surrender, v. deditio sperabatur, Tac. Hist. 2, 45, init.
      2. 2. vŏlens: I, Turnus, am a v. suppliant, v. vos Turnus adoro, Virg. Aen. 10, 677.
      3. 3. spontāneus: v. motion, s. motus, Sen. Ep. 121, 7.
      4. 4. ultrōneus: opp. jussi, Sen. Q. N. 2, 59, 7. Instead of these two words we should find the idea expr. in good Latin by the adv. sponte and ultro. Phr.: (He said) that his death was not v., nec illum sponte exstinctum, Tac. A. 3, 16: he died a v. death, mortem sibi conscivit, Liv. 3, 58; sua manu cecidit, Tac. A. 3, 43; vim vitae suae attulit, ib. 6, 38: v. suicide: that we should go into v. exile, ut exsilium ac fugam nobis conscisceremus, Liv. 5, 53, med.: the wise man alone is always a v. agent, soli hoc contingit sapienti, ut nihil facia invitus, nihil coactus, Cic. Par. 5, 1, 34: v. voluntarily.

VOLUNTARY Copy link
• 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.
