Wiktionary
viz.adverb
namely, that is to say, as follows, specifically, as an illustration.
Etymology: From videlicet, short for. The ‘z’ was originally not a letter but a common Middle Latin that was used for -et, specifically a Tironian note. The symbol resembled ‘z’, or rather 3 and Ȝ, and hence is thus represented in type. Compare ⁊, the Tironian symbol for Latin et (in isolation, not as suffix).
