  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-}.]
     Certainly; most likely; truly; probably. [Obs. or Archaic]

                                                    --Chaucer.
  
           She answered me, ``I-wisse, all their sport in the park
           is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in

     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.
