词组 goodwill, good will
释义 goodwill, good will
      Goodwill can be spelled either as one word or as two. Our evidence shows that goodwill is the prevalent form, but good will is also very common, especially when the sense is "benevolent interest or concern":
      ... he left with nothing but good will —Eugene DiMaria, Metropolitan Home, November 1982
      ... carting good will around as part of her luggage — Edwin Newman, N. Y. Times Book Rev., 3 June 1984
      When the sense relates to the value of a business, the single word goodwill is almost invariably used:
      ... is carried on the acquiring company's books as nontaxable goodwill —Business Week, 12 Apr. 1982
      And when the term is being used adjectively ("a goodwill tour") it is written either as a single word or, less often, as a hyphenated compound:
      ... has served as goodwill ambassador —Current Biography, September 1966
      ... most hotels run their lost-and-found departments as a good-will operation —Robert J. Dunphy, N.Y. Times, 13 Nov. 1977
