Etymology

From Middle English avys, from Old French avis, rebracketed from the phrase ce m'est a vis (“I think”, “it seems to me”, literally “it is to my view”), where vis is from Latin vīsus (“vision, sight”). The unhistoric -d- was introduced during the 15th century due to influence from advise and ad-, see advance. Doublet of aviso. See vision, and compare avise, advise.
Mostly displaced native Old English rǣd (see modern rede).

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun An opinion recommended or offered, as worthy to be followed; counsel.
  2. noun Deliberate consideration; knowledge. [Obs.]

Etymology [OE. avis, F. avis; + OF. vis, fr. L. visum seemed, seen; really p. p. of videre to see, so that vis meant that which has seemed best. See Vision, and cf. Avise, Advise.]
