"Voluntarily" comes from the Latin word "voluntas," meaning "will" or "desire." It was first used in English in the 14th century as "voluntary," meaning "done by choice or free will." The "-ly" suffix was added later to create the adverb "voluntarily," indicating that something is done willingly and without compulsion.
