Kanji 随 follow, though, notwithstanding Related words 気き まま 気まま is more common and neutral, meaning 'doing as one likes' without the strong selfish nuance of 気随気儘.
わがまま わがまま is more direct and often used for children or selfish demands; 気随気儘 is more literary and describes a general disposition.
Etymology A coordinate pairing of the near-synonyms 気随, “acting as one pleases,” and 気儘, “self-willed; unrestrained,” giving the expression emphatic force.
