Will-power (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

volition

This clue is a double definition.

'will' is the first definition.
(I know that will can be written as volition)

'power' is the second definition.
(volition is a kind of power)

(Other definitions for volition that I've seen before include "Act of exercising the will" , "Power of using one's will" , "The act of makiing a choice" , "Free will" , "(Exercise of) will" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
