Word to the Wise: Cum
Archives: Wise | Word to the Wise
"Cum" (KUM) is Latin for "with." It is often used to mean "combined with."
Example (as used by Bob Granleese in The Guardian): "Pretty soon, we’re digging up the lunch, washing it off at a stand pipe, and heading for the shed-cum-kitchen, where the two burners are quickly pressed into working overtime."
