'Id est' is really 'that is...'
'Videlicet' (vee-DAY-lih-ket) - usually abbreviated viz., this is translated as 'namely.'

JJ has the correct term. 'Videlicet" is an adverb in Latin, and its meanings are: one may see; clearly, evidently.
It started as a full sentence:
Vide = See, look at
Licet = It is permitted; one may
and was used so frequently in merged into a single word.
