Vis, all by itself, means "power, strength, force." It often appears in the plural with the same meaning, as in the famous quotation from Virgil's Aeneid, "vires acquirit eundo" - "it gains strength as it goes."

Vis- as a root of English words involving seeing such as visible, vision, revise, etc., is from visus, the past participle of the verb videre meaning "to see."
