Ywis
\Y*wis"\, adv. [OE. ywis, iwis, AS. gewis certain; akin to

Wit to know,
and
Y-.]
Certainly; most likely; truly; probably. [Obs. or Archaic]

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.

Shall be of another form than this. --Longfellow.
