VIDELICET

Latin for "to wit" or "that is to say." " Viz .", which is the abbreviation of videlicet , is much more commonly used. It is often found in legal documents to advise that what follows provides more detail about a preceding general statement. For example: "The defendant committed adultery ; viz ., on April 15th, at approximately 10:30 pm, he had sexual intercourse with Ms Jane Doe."
