of one's own accord
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): modifies a verb to describe the manner of action as voluntary or intentional. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
willingly
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of one's own accord' is correct in meaning but for this participial adverb the concise 'willingly' better fits natural English usage and matches the silex_definition sense of intentional or volitional act. No change of meaning. |
