Reading Defoe's Robinson Crusoe in original language I encountered more than
once the word VIZ. Could anyone explain me what's the meaning of this word?
Thanks a lot

Does "namely" fit the context:

Viz. was still reasonably common 50 years ago, but it's disappearing
from everyday use. People who haven't learned Latin tend to confuse
i.e., e.g. and viz.
