Etymology
'free-willer' originates from the English words 'free' and 'will,' where 'free' meant 'not under the control of another' and 'will' meant 'the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action.'
'free-willer' was formed by combining 'free' and 'will' with the suffix '-er' to denote a person who advocates or believes in free will.
Initially, it meant 'a person who exercises free will,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who believes in or advocates for free will.'
