Conjugation

While it does have third conjugation forms, this verb is irregular. In Romance, it was regularized into a second conjugation verb vole? (present infinitive vol?re). Its present infinitive, velle, descends from the athematic infinitive form Proto-Italic *wel-zi (*-zi being the source of the usual infinitive ending -re as well). The second person singular present form v?s is suppletive and belongs to the root Proto-Indo-European *weyh?- (“to strive after, pursue”).
