Ok let me rephrase for pedantic people, adjectives with trans prefix have a correspondent cis adjective.

And an electrical cisformer would be something that would keep energy inside the same circuit at roughly the same voltage, so basically a wire. Feel free to use the term if you want to oversell something.

I will start using "cisformer" in place of "wire" from now on, in a similar manner to how we at work sometimes refer to "power aspect negation cycle" for pulling the plug on something and reconnect it.

Also, I guess a cisistor would be just a regular switch or potentiometer.

"..and here's where I keep assorted lengths of cisformers!"
