Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Perhaps ultimately derived in some way from Vulgar Latin *cisellum (from *caesellum, from caedō), whence e.g. French cission, ciseau and other words with senses related to cutting and separating, or perhaps from the same root as scission (“division, separating”) (Latin scissus, scindō), or even a conflation of the two as in scissor, whence sciss (“cut with scissors”).

pos: verb
examples: Varnish is very apt to ciss on old work, if the second coat is not applied as soon as ever the first coat is hard enough to bear varnishing.
Varnish frequently cisses upon oil paint.
"Cissing."—This term, which would appear to be peculiar to the paint and varnish craft, represents the phenomenon occurring when oil is applied to a damp surface or vice versa, and consists in the contraction or retression of the film applied to separate drops of lesser surface. […] The manifestation of the “cissing” would appear to be about simultaneous with the period of evaporation of the bulk of the volatile thinner . The cause of “cissing” on an unflatted varnished surface is to be found as before stated in the high interfacial tension […]
There is some doubt as to the exact fatty acid composition, but the unquestionably high linolenic acid content and the fact that it is somewhat more reactive than linseed oil places it in the linolenic group. The raw oil tends to “ciss” when applied as a thin film, forming droplets as thought the surface were greasy.
The use of silicone anti-cissing agents in particular demands extreme caution, for while small amounts can help to prevent cissing, excessive use will actually promote it. Moreover, any subsequent coats are even more likely to ciss, and their ...

The intellectual foundations for the scientific revolution in medicine were laid down in the second half of the nineteenth century, but therapeutic applications did not reach the bedside until the mid-1940s (L. Eisenberg 1988). The profession I entered cloaked itself in the apparel of science, but its practices differed little from those of the empirics a half century earlier; basic science had taught doctors a great deal about the pathogenesis of disease, but little about its treatment. Indeed, the dazzling discoveries of the specific bacterial and viral causes of infectious diseases blinded physicians to the importance of host factors in determining disease outcome, an intellectual scotoma that continues to impair the scientific vision of today's physicians and researchers (L. Eisenberg 1988). Only 5 to 15 percent of individuals who contract a primary TB [tuberculosis] infection manifest clinical symptoms. Infection with the TB bacillus is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for illness (Glassroth, Robins, and Snider 1980). It was my good fortune to begin my medical education just as science reached the clinic. The gains in the therapeutic capabilities of medicine during my lifetime have been simply extraordinary. Let me cite a few examples.
