I hate the word 'cis' so much because it sounds like 'cyst'. Why would they not pick a better word.

"They?" The Romans? "cis" is just the Latin prefix antonym to "trans." The former means "on the same side (as)," the latter means "on the other side (of)."

Both of these are arbitrary choices, but trans doesn't sound like a medical issue. I will die on this hill, cis is a poor choice.
