Re: Pronunciation

(Anonymous) 2013-12-19 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
According to Wikipedia:

The terms cis and trans are from Latin, in which cis means "on the same side" and trans means "on the other side" or "across". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis-trans_isomerism)

So if we want to get super-technical, I think "cis" would be pronounced like "chiss" (I never took Latin, I'm just guessing based on what I know of Latin pronunciation).

But in all seriousness, it's pronounced "siss."

Fun fact about Latin: for a lot of Latin words still in use, we don't actually know the correct pronunciation anymore. People have just tried to extrapolate from Italian and there are huge debates in academic circles as to how they think it would have sounded.
