I wol), thou wilt, he will (Obs. he wol); we, ye,       they will.] [OE. willen, imp. wolde; akin to OS. willan,       OFries. willa, D. willen, G. wollen, OHG. wollan, wellan,       Icel. & Sw. vilja, Dan. ville, Goth. wiljan, OSlav. voliti,       L. velle to wish, volo I wish; cf. Skr. v[rsdot] to choose,       to prefer. Cf. {Voluntary}, {Welcome}, {Well}, adv.]       1. To wish; to desire; to incline to have.                         A wife as of herself no thing ne sholde [should]                      Wille in effect, but as her husband wolde [would].                                                                               --Chaucer.                         Caleb said unto her, What will thou ? --Judg. i. 14.                         They would none of my counsel.            --Prov. i. 30.          2. As an auxiliary, will is used to denote futurity dependent             on the verb. Thus, in first person, [bd]I will[b8] denotes             willingness, consent, promise; and when [bd]will[b8] is             emphasized, it denotes determination or fixed purpose; as,             I will go if you wish; I will go at all hazards. In the             second and third persons, the idea of distinct volition,             wish, or purpose is evanescent, and simple certainty is             appropriately expressed; as, [bd]You will go,[b8] or             [bd]He will go,[b8] describes a future event as a fact             only. To emphasize will denotes (according to the tone or             context) certain futurity or fixed determination.          Note: Will, auxiliary, may be used elliptically for will go.                [bd]I'll to her lodgings.[b8] --Marlowe.          Note: As in shall (which see), the second and third persons                may be virtually converted into the first, either by                question or indirect statement, so as to receive the                meaning which belongs to will in that person; thus,                [bd]Will you go?[b8] (answer, [bd]I will go[b8]) asks                assent, requests, etc.; while [bd]Will he go?[b8]                simply inquires concerning futurity; thus, also,[bd]He                says or thinks he will go,[b8] [bd]You say or think you                will go,[b8] both signify willingness or consent.          Note: Would, as the preterit of will, is chiefly employed in                conditional, subjunctive, or optative senses; as, he                would go if he could; he could go if he would; he said                that he would go; I would fain go, but can not; I would                that I were young again; and other like phrases. In the                last use, the first personal pronoun is often omitted;                as, would that he were here; would to Heaven that it                were so; and, omitting the to in such an adjuration.                [bd]Would God I had died for thee.[b8] Would is used                for both present and future time, in conditional                propositions, and would have for past time; as, he                would go now if he were ready; if it should rain, he                would not go; he would have gone, had he been able.                Would not, as also will not, signifies refusal. [bd]He                was angry, and would not go in.[b8] --Luke xv. 28.                Would is never a past participle.          Note: In Ireland, Scotland, and the United States, especially                in the southern and western portions of the United                States, shall and will, should and would, are often                misused, as in the following examples:                            I am able to devote as much time and attention to                         other subjects as I will [shall] be under the                         necessity of doing next winter.      --Chalmers.                            A countryman, telling us what he had seen,                         remarked that if the conflagration went on, as it                         was doing, we would [should] have, as our next                         season's employment, the Old Town of Edinburgh to                         rebuild.                                       --H. Miller.                            I feel assured that I will [shall] not have the                         misfortune to find conflicting views held by one                         so enlightened as your excellency. --J. Y. Mason.

waldo /wol'doh/ n.   [From Robert A. Heinlein's story "Waldo"]    1. A mechanical agent, such as a gripper arm, controlled by a human    limb.   When these were developed for the nuclear industry in the    mid-1940s they were named after the invention described by Heinlein    in the story, which he wrote in 1942.   Now known by the more generic    term `telefactoring', this technology is of intense interest to NASA    for tasks like space station maintenance.   2.
