Hi:

The common short form of "cumulative" used on this list, minus the "e," is 
just Latin for "with." In 18th through 20th Century English it was often 
used untranslated to mean "along with." The novel "Star Rangers" by Andre 
Norton, which I read and re-read as a youngster, has an example. A racist 
member of a starship crew calls a human who hobnobs with the reptiloid 
Zacathanians, "Bemmy  c  u  m  animal lover" or, "lover of Bug Eyed 
Monsters along with other animals."

As an English King said, in bad Old French I think and probably misspelled 
by me, "Honi soit qui mal e pense"  -- evil is to him who evil thinks. In 
the current vernacular it would come out something like, "It only matters 
if you have a dirty mind." Unfortunately, the current crop of firewalls 
and SPAM filters has, collectively, a mind that is both dirty as a pigpen 
and dumb as a brick.
