Etimologia (Anglès)

In summary

Spread during the 20th century from Low German, Low Franconian, and Central Franconian dialects, from Middle Low German vīs and early modern Dutch vijs, respectively. Compare contemporary Dutch vies (from a dialectal form), West Frisian fiis. Per Pfeifer a connection with Latin spīrō (“I breathe, blow”) is possible.
