Etymology
Cementitious comes from the simple word cement, which comes from an old Latin word for a stone material used to 'join' things together. The ending -itious turns the word into one that means 'like' or 'having the quality of', so cementitious means 'like cement' or 'acting as a glue for building materials'.
