From Средњи Енглески voice, voys, vois, borrowed from Anglo-Norman voiz, voys, voice, Стари Француски vois, voiz (Modern Француски voix), from Латински vōcem, accusative form of vōx (voice), from Proto-Indo-European *wṓkʷs, root noun from *wekʷ- (to utter, speak). Cognate with Санскрт वाच् (vāc), Антички Грчки ὄψ (óps), Persian آواز (âvâz). Displaced native Средњи Енглески steven (voice) (from Стари Енглески stefn (see steven)), Стари Енглески hlēoþor, and Стари Енглески woþ. Broadly overtook Стари Енглески reord.

Compare advocate, advowson, avouch, convoke, epic, vocal, vouch, vowel. Дублети of vox.
