cementn.

/sɪˈmɛnt/

/ˈsɛmənt/

Forms: Middle English syment, Middle English siment, Middle English–1600s cyment, sement, Middle English scyment, symonde, 1500s sciment, simont, symont, syman, symunt, 1500s–1600s ciment, 1600s seiment, symond, cemente, cœment, 1700s scement, 1500s– cement.

Etymology: Middle English cyment, < Old French ciment (= Provençal cimen, Spanish cimento, Portuguese cimento) < Latin caementum (in late Latin cimentum), contraction for caedimentum rough unhewn stone, chip, lit. ‘cutting’, ‘produce of cutting or chipping’, < caedĕre to cut. In 16th cent. altered to cement after the Latin form. The pronunciation ˈcement is found from 14th cent., but is now almost superseded by ceˈment, after the verb. The name appears to have been given to broken or pounded stone, tiles, etc. mixed with lime to form a setting mortar, and at length to the mortar or plaster so formed, whence it passed into the modern sense of strong setting mortar, or of mortar generally, however made.

1. A substance used to bind the stones or bricks of a building firmly together, to cover floors, to form walls, terraces, etc., which being applied in a soft and pasty state, afterwards hardens into a stony consistency; esp. a strong mortar, produced by the calcination of a natural or artificial mixture of calcareous and argillaceous matter.hydraulic cements harden under water, and are used for piers, dock-walls, etc. Roman cement, like all the hydraulic cements, is an argillaceous lime. Portland cement is so called because it resembles in colour the Portland stone. It is prepared by calcining a mixture of the clayey mud of the Thames with a proper proportion of chalk (Ure). Also cement royal.
