Used to call attention to or express satisfaction with a thing shown or accomplished: Mix the ingredients, chill, and—voilà!—a light, tasty dessert.
[French : voi second person sing. imperative of voir, to see (from Old French). See voyeur + là, there (from Old French la, lai, probably from Latin illac, by that way : illa, that feminine of ille + -ce, deictic particle).]
