Wohlwollen is "goodwill" in German, hollisr.
This may take you down a different path:
Wohl- denotes the good or agreeable:
die Wohlfahrt - welfare
das Wohlsein - well-being
das Wohlwollen - goodwill

In Russian, the biblical benediction "'On earth peace, and goodwill to all men!" translates «На земле мир, в человецех благоволение!».
