Ywis
(gcide) | Ywis \Y*wis"\, adv. [OE. ywis, iwis, AS. gewis certain; akin to
D. gewis, G. gewiss, and E. wit to know. See Wit to know,
and Y-.]

is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in Plato."

[1913 Webster]
Note: The common form iwis was often written with the prefix
apart from the rest of the word and capitalized, as, I
wis, I wisse, etc. The prefix was mistaken for the
pronoun, I and wis, wisse, for a form of the verb wit
to know. See Wis, and cf. Wit, to know.
