Etymology

From 1831, "official signature or endorsement on a passport," from French visa, from Latin charta vīsa (paper that has been seen) from feminine perfect passive of Latin vidēre (to see). Compare vision, video, vista.

Pronunciation

Noun

visa (plural visas)

  1. A permit to enter and leave a country, normally issued by the authorities of the country to be visited.
    I came on a six-month tourist visa.
    • 2009 January 13, Cade Metz, “Sun MySQLers barred from Oz”, in The Register, archived from the original on 2020-06-17:
      Several Sun MySQLers have been denied short stay business visas to Australia - yes, Australia - as they attempted to attend a Linux conference in Hobart, Tasmania. According to a blog post from Kaj Arno, vice president in charge of "database community" at Sun Microsystems, several employees - many of whom worked with MySQL - have been barred from entering Oz.
    • 2016, James S. Kessler, Echoes of Empire:
      However, I couldn't continue by land to Georgia, as I would have liked: Russia still maintains its crazy, Sovietesque visa regulations, which makes getting a transit visa extremely difficult and extremely expensive.

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *visa (hard?). Cognate with Estonian visa, Karelian visa and Livonian vizā. The original adjective "hard, difficult, demanding" is now exclusively found in dialects (and some derivations, like visakoivu); the modern sense "quiz" is a backformation of visailla, itself derived from that adjective.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈʋisɑ/, [ˈʋis̠ɑ̝]
  • Rhymes: -isɑ
  • Hyphenation(key): vi‧sa

Noun

visa

  1. Synonym of visakoivu (wood obtained from a mutation of the silver birch)
  2. quiz (competition in the answering of questions)
