(gcide) | Scissors \Scis"sors\, n. pl. [OE. sisoures, OF. cisoires (cf. F.
ciseaux), probably fr. LL. cisorium a cutting instrument, fr.
L. caedere to cut. Cf. Chisel, Concise. The modern
spelling is due to a mistaken derivation from L. scissor one
who cleaves or divides, fr. scindere, scissum, to cut,
split.]
A cutting instrument resembling shears, but smaller,
consisting of two cutting blades with handles, movable on a
pin in the center, by which they are held together. Often
called a pair of scissors. [Formerly written also cisors,
cizars, and scissars.]
[1913 Webster]
