Original Note:
The prefix cis- derives from Latin, meaning ‘on this side of’, and often forms words in contrast to trans, especially with reference to geography (cisalpine/transalpine, cisatlantic/transatlantic). It could be used in an offensive manner by adding derogatory suffixes. https://web.archive.org/web/20150814051905/http://public.oed.com/the-oed-today/recent-updates-to-the-oed/june-2015-update/new-words-notes-june-2015/
