From theLatin prepositioncis(“on this side of”). The earliest known sexuality-related use of the prefix in any language was in a 1914 German-language book on sexology.[1] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest use of the prefix in the context of gender in English dates from 1994.[2]

Usage notes

[edit]
  • In the first sense, “on this side of”, this prefix is usually attached directly to the word it modifies, or sometimes separated from it by a hyphen:cisrhenane,cis-Neptunian.
  • In the gender-related sense, this prefix is attached directly to certain words, most notablycisgender andcissexual (which are almost always spelled thus, not as e.g. *cis sexual). In other cases, the related standalone adjectivecis is used: hence one speaks ofa cis perspective (not *cisperspective), etc. Comparetrans- andtrans.
