Of course, you may have mangled some other term as badly as you did "The Silmarillion". Why yes, I am feeling snarky. Examining the excellent site "The Encyclopedia of Arda" http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/ I see no reference to any term even vaguely resembling "vishivit", and looking under the topic of "Elves", nothing to indicate there is even such a concept for elves. It doesn't sound like a term Tolkien would have coined for either Sindarin or Quenya. It sounds vaguely like something from perhaps the Black Speech created by Sauron.
