   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.]
