thel'-o; or ἐθέλω, eth-el'-o; in certain tenses θελέω, thel-eh'-o; and ἐθέλω, eth-el-eh'-o, which are otherwise obsolete; apparently strengthened from the altnate form of (138) (αἱρέομαι); to determine (as an active option from subjective impulse; whereas (1014) (βούλομαι) properly denotes rather a passive acquiescence in objective considerations), i.e., choose or prefer (literal or figurative); by implication to wish, i.e. be inclined to (sometimes adverbially gladly); impersonally for the future tense, to be about to; by Hebrew to delight in: — desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, -ling [ly]).
