Usage notes
- Use vigore for energetic strength or legal force; for physical power alone, forza is more common and broader.
- In legal or formal contexts, in vigore means “currently valid,” not “vigorous.” It often refers to laws, rules, or contracts.
- Con vigore is a common adverbial phrase meaning “vigorously,” especially in writing, music directions, or formal descriptions.
