Etymology

From *wola, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *wada (“to be, to appear”). This adverb has been originally used for constructions that termed aggressive mood in colloquial Finnish, so it originally means "it is appears that someone is (not) doing something". However, the notion has been lost as it was completely integrated to the standard language and acquired the default current meaning of "not". Cognates include Indonesian ada and Aklanon waea'.
