         or wot(t)eth; pl. witen, or wite. The following variant

         [1913 Webster]

   Note: This verb is now used only in the infinitive, to wit,
         which is employed, especially in legal language, to
         call attention to a particular thing, or to a more
         particular specification of what has preceded, and is
         equivalent to namely, that is to say.
         [1913 Webster]
