The adverbs viz and videlicet are two words of Latin origin used today as synonyms of "namely", "precisely", "that is to say", and introduce a specification or a more detailed description of something stated before. Often, as with a syntactical-descriptive colon, this is a list. Though both forms survive in many modern languages, viz is by far more common in English than videlicet.
