saying videlicet

[Tom Zurinskas]

Let’s just say “viz” which stands for “videlicet” because the choices are:

1 vee-DEL-ih-kit
2 vie-DEL-ih-sit
3 vih-DEEL-ih-set
4 vih-DEL-ih-set
5 vuh-DEL-ih-set
6 vih-DEL-ih-ket

The word on wordsmith.org’s word of the day is “videlicet”.
 (vi-DEL-uh-sit, wi-DAY-li-ket
I click the speaker icon and hear:  Vee-DEL-ih-kit  ~veeddelikit
