Vis (Latin) Force, energy; synonymous with energia naturae (energy of nature). According to ancient thought all the various forms of vis -- vis formativa (formative force), vis generatrix (force that brings forth or generates), vis viva (living force) -- are inherently living, so that vis viva means not so much living force as live in active rather than passive manifestation.
