### Etymology

From the earlier form naulo, from Late Latin naulum (“fare”), from Ancient Greek ναῦλος (naûlos, “a passenger's fee”), from ναῦς (naûs, “ship”).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈnɔ.lo/
* Rhymes: -ɔlo
* Hyphenation: nò‧lo

### Noun

nolo m (plural noli)
* hire, hiring, renting
    Synonym: noleggio
    prendere a nolo ― to rent; to hire
* hire, rental, freight

#### Derived terms

## Latin
### Etymology

Univerbation of ne- (“not”) +‎ volō (“want”).

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /ˈnoː.loː/, [ˈnoːɫ̪oː]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /ˈno.lo/, [ˈnɔːlo]

### Verb

nōlō (present infinitive nōlle, perfect active nōluī); irregular conjugation, suppletive, no passive, no gerund
* to be unwilling, to not wish, to not want, to refuse
    T. Maccius Plautus, Stichus, or The Parasite Rebuffed
    Abīre nōlumus. ― We are unwilling to depart.
    Nōllem. ― I would not/I could wish not.
    Nōllem factum. ― I am sorry for it.
    Quod nōlim. ― Which I must not do (loosely, which Heaven forbid).
    Nōn nōlle. ― To have no objection/To be willing.
    Me nōlente. ― Without my consent/Against my will (literally, with me being unwilling).
    Alere nōlunt hominem edācem. ― They won't keep a greedy man.

#### Usage notes

* This verb is especially frequent in the imperative (nōlī, nōlīto, nōlīte) because its imperative form is used as the negation in a polite form of negative imperative: nōlī / nōlīte (singular/plural, respectively) + [infinitive], literally "Be unwilling to [ bare infinitive ]," reflecting the substitution of nolle + [infinitive] for ne + [second-person present subjunctive], the latter phrase having the literal meaning of "May you not [ bare infinitive ]." Examples:
    Nōlīte spēluncās intrāre!Don't (you people) enter the caves!
    Nōlī īrāscī.Don't become angry.
    Nōlī āvorsārī.Don't recoil.
    Nōlī putāre.Don't think.
    Nōlītōte mīrārī.Don't be surprised.
    Nōlītō putāre.You shall not think.
    Nōlīte, hospitēs, ad mē adīre.Don't approach me, strangers!
    Nōlīte, jūdicēs, exīstimāre.Don't judge, judges!
    Nōlī mē tangere (dīcit eī Iēsūs): nōndum enim ascendī ad Patrem meum. Vāde autem ad frātrēs meōs et dīc eīs: ascendō ad Patrem meum et Patrem vestrum et Deum meum et Deum vestrum.Jesus saith to her: Do not touch Me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to My brethren and say to them: I ascend to My Father and to your Father, to My God and to your God.
* Sometimes the verb volō (“to wish, to want”) is used pleonastically with this verb:
* Sometimes followed by a negative, which does not undo the negation.

#### Conjugation

The present indicative active voice is currently defective, only having the plural forms and the third person plural; the missing forms are provided with nōn velle. However, Old Latin gave this verb functional forms for the second and third persons singular and second person plural by adding ne- to the beginning of the respective forms of velle for the former two and using nōltis (perhaps a contraction of ne vultis) in the lattermost.
