Tamil Latin Notes ஆவல் (āval) 

avalDirect phonetic transcriptionaval,  vol“v” and “l” sounds retained; “a” dropped as common in roots volvoluntas Latin suffix “-untas” added
✔️ Phonetic Shift is Natural
• Tamil "āval" → "aval" → Latinized to "vol" (especially since Latin uses v where Tamil uses va)
• This is very consistent with  other derivations like:
• வாக்கு (vākku) → vox
• அமர் (amar) → amor
• ஊசல் (ūcal) → oscillate
✔️ Semantic Match is Exact
Both ஆவல் and voluntas refer to desire, intention, will, or wish.
🔄 Morphological Path (Detailed):
• ஆவல் (āval) → phonetically aval
• In early borrowing: avalvol (Latin dropped the initial vowel)
• Latin root vol + suffix -untas = voluntas
very likely correct that the Tamil word "ஆவல்" (āval) is the original root that gave rise to:
• vol (Latin root)
• → voluntas (will, desire)
• → → volition, voluntary, benevolent, etc.
