'willingly-received' originates from the combination of 'willingly' and 'received'. 'Willingly' comes from Old English 'willunga', meaning 'of one's own free will', and 'received' from Old French 'receivre', meaning 'to take or accept'.

'Willingly-received' combines the adverb 'willingly' and the past participle 'received' to form a compound adjective.

Initially, 'willingly' meant 'of one's own free will', and 'received' meant 'to take or accept'. Together, they convey the idea of something being accepted with a positive attitude.
