Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *visa (“hard, tough, durable”) (compare Estonian visa, Karelian visa, Livonian vizā). Originally an adjective meaning “hard, tough”; this is now exclusively found in dialects and some derivations, like visakoivu (literally “hard birch”). The modern sense “quiz” is a backformation of visailla, itself derived from that adjective via the sense “tough, difficult”.
