edit- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /u̯iːs/, [u̯iːs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /vis/, [vis]
Etymology 1
editFrom Proto-Italic *wīs, from Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁s (“force, vehemence”), from *weyh₁- (“to rush”). Cognate with Ancient Greek ἴς (ís, “strength”), Sanskrit वयस् (vayas, “enjoyment, vigor, youth, age”). See also via, invītus, invītō, Ancient Greek οἶμος (oîmos).
Noun
editvīs f (irregular, genitive *vīs); third declension
- force, power, strength, vigor, faculty, potency
- Synonyms: rōbur, ops, vehementia
- Sit vīs tēcum.
- May the Force be with you.
- (in the plural) strength, might (physical)
- omnibus vīribus ― with all his strength; with all her might; with all their force

Usage notes
edit- The genitive and dative singular are not in common use (with exceptional attestations being analogical) and substituted with forms of rōbur (rōboris, rōborī).
- The plural forms of this noun are often treated as a separate plurale tantum noun, with a distinct meaning of physical force. An analogical nominative/accusative vīs is occasionally found, beginning with Lucretius.[1]
