In response to "As to where it came from, and was it initials or a word or an abbreviation. -- nm" by .

that's pretty much where it came from. cis is just a prefix that means basically 'on the same side of'.

can be used in the same way as a lot of trans-prefix words that refer to a distance or divide. like transatlantic - other side of the atlantic; cisatlantic - same side of the atlantic.
