ill-willing
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Forms: form: more ill-willing
form: most ill-willing
form: ill willing
Etymology: From Middle English *il-willynge, ill willand, il-willande, equivalent to ill + willing.
Senses: examples: text: I don't know how— but it will make me uneasy, if I am to make up my accounts to you: for so well known is your love to us, that though you would no more do in unjust thing, than, by God's grace, we should desire you; yet this same ill-willing world might think it was like making up accounts to one's self.
ref: 1810, The authoress, by the author of 'Rachel', page 17:
text: Some quaint device or rare conceit of her nigh frozen Robin Redbreast; praying to be once more cherished from the cold blasts of an ill-willing world, in the warm bosom of Royal favour.
ref: 1857, Thomas of Swarraton, The Noble Traytour, page 332:

extimate
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈɛkstɪmət/
Etymology: From extimacy + -ate (adjective-forming suffix). Extimacy is a calque of French extimité (coined by the French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan (1901–1981) in 1959–1960), probably from a blend of French externe (“external”) + intimité (“closeness, intimacy”). The English word can be analysed as a blend of external + intimate.
Senses: examples: text: Since [Edgar Allan] Poe is viewed by the critical tradition as simultaneously inevitable and dubious, we should strive to see him as neither in nor out of the central canon, but rather, to adopt one of [Jacques] Lacan's neologisms, as extimate with relation to it, "simultaneously the intimate kernel and the foreign body," as Mladen Dolar glosses the term succinctly. The extimate is, like the social limit I have been outlining, a fold or fissure within a conceptual and discursive structure, an internal limit.
ref: 1995, Jonathan Elmer, “Introduction: The Figure of Mass Culture”, in Reading at the Social Limit: Affect, Mass Culture, & Edgar Allan Poe, Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, →ISBN, page 26:
text: The romantic ‘fatal desire for mystical union’ emerges as a (non)relation to ‘some other’, to the ‘other’s alien life’[…]. In Lacanian terms this other functions like the extimate Thing, locus of the minimal difference in and more than the subject.
ref: 1999, Fred Botting, “Romance of the Machine”, in Sex, Machines and Navels: Fiction, Fantasy and History in the Future Present, Manchester; New York, N.Y.: Manchester University Press, →ISBN, page 210:
text: The notion of the extimate object as the cause of desire is used to denote that the most intimate and hidden aspect of the subject is also that which is most foreign and other to ourselves.
ref: 2000, Kalpana Seshadri-Crooks, “The Object of Whiteness”, in Desiring Whiteness: A Lacanian Analysis of Race, London; New York, N.Y.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 68:
text: Actually, it is just this quality of being in public, in the outside world, that makes an extimate experience and an extimate desire substantially meaningul to you or me: "it is intimate to us while being exterior at the same time" […] Would it be imaginable that such extimate reflections and evaluations, doubts and sensible explorations would be an intrinsic part of public life?
ref: 2021, Holger Schulze, “The Intimate”, in Holger Schulze, editor, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound, New York, N.Y.; London: Bloomsbury Academic, →ISBN, part II (Sounding Flesh), page 160:
