Meaning & usage
scissors (tool used for cutting)
Where this word comes from
From Middle Welsh siswrn, from Middle English sisours, from Old French cisoires. The -n is of unclear origin; perhaps the word is from a dialect of Middle English in which the plural suffix -en predominated over -s. At any rate, its use in this Welsh word is paralleled by other loanwords like masarn (“maple”) (from Old French masre), miswrn (“visor”), and pinsiwrn (“pincers”).
