"to wit" RE: Legal Description Real Property?


The term "to wit" preceeds the legal decription in deeds. What is the definition of "to wit" and more specifically when I am writing a legal description wherein I first give a general descrition of Section, Township and Range followed by more particularly described as to wit: then give a meets and bounds description of said section.

Not knowing the definition of To Wit, I want to make sure that when I use it again at the beginning of the "more particualy" description" that I have not started over and excluded the "general descrition." as part of the full description.

Thanks.

old way of saying "specifically", as in the property at 123 Main St, specifically the lot lying east of Main St 10 ft, South of Elm St 220 ft, and dimensions of 100 ft by 200 ft, marked by survey stakes.
