The Latin root words vis and its variant
vid both mean “see.” These Latin roots
are the word origin of a good number of
English vocabulary words, including
visual, invisible, provide, and evidence.
The Latin root vis is easily recalled
through the word vision, someone’s
ability to “see,” whereas vid can be
remembered through video, or moving
images which you “see” on a screen.
