Etymology
In summary
From Old French vois, ultimately from Latin vadō. The origin of -ais, while the final -s is not etymologically spurious in Old French, is unclear. Likely taken from Latin transeō < *trasjo to form the expected *vausjō (see more at Reichenau Glossary). The element *vau- comes from *vaō (infinitive *vare), elided form of vadō.
