On its own, ! is the natural reply to a request or an offer, roughly gladly or with pleasure. It is one of those small words that make you sound like a speaker rather than a learner, so it is worth putting into service straight away. The adjective means willing, and nevolonte covers doing something reluctantly. It shares the vol- family with and but is its own root, so do not go looking for a verb to build it from.
