"As will".... "at will"

Quote:

they offer us so much choice and the ability to generate new meanings at will.

Can we say at will to mean the same as as will?
Thanks

Re: "As will".... "at will"

No. 'At will' is an idiom meaning 'freely', or 'as, when you wish'. I am not aware of any meaning for the isolated phrase 'as will'.
