Etymology
**Etymology**
*Cil* is an archaic demonstrative adjective meaning “that”. It comes from Old French *cile*, a variant of *cel* that in turn derives from Latin *cēlum* (a demonstrative form of *ille*, “that”). Over time the vowel in *cile* was shortened and the word was contracted to *cil*, a form that survived mainly in poetic and historical contexts.
