Volition - English Vocabulary Lesson #109 - Free English ESL lessons
Sometimes you don’t take advice from anyone and do things based on your own judgment and decision.
The word volition means the act of making a conscious choice or a decision.
It is the power of choosing to do something, without being forced or told to do it.
So when you do something out of your own will, you actually do it of your own volition.
If you do something of your own volition, you do it because you have decided that you will do it and not because someone has told you to do it. You independently take your own decision and do it willfully.

The word volition is a noun as it is a choice or a decision made, volitionally is an adverb and it describes action that is done willingly, volitional is an adjective and it describes the something being done with deliberate intention.
