Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁s (“force, vehemence”), from *weyh₁- (“to rush”).
Noun
*wīs f[1]
Declension
The declension is almost a regular third declension noun, but the genitive singular always uses -es rather than having -os as an option and the accusative singular's ending has been reduced to just the letter "m" itself, rather than -em as one would expect.
