I wiss

Where it comes from

From an incorrect assumption made by editors where i-wiss, iwis (“certainly, for sure”) was hypercorrected to I wiss, as if wiss were a verb and I were the pronoun I. See also wiss, wis, iwis.

adverb I wuss · I wis

archaic, not comparable, poetic surely, certainly; indeed, assuredly To tell the truth, I'm well informed / Yon match is a wile; The sheriff, I wiss, devises this / Us archers to beguile.
