köken: From Middle High German schære, from Old High German scāri, plural of scār, from Proto-West Germanic *skeran. The spelling with -e- (instead of Schäre) is East Central German, probably reinforced by the related verb scheren (“to shear”). Cognate with Dutch schaar, English shears.
köken: Inherited from Old French cisaille(s), from a Vulgar Latin *cisac(u)la, from *caesacula, from the neuter plural of a *caesaculum, formed from the root of Latin caesus, from caedō (“cut”). Cf. also the related ciseau.

köken: Inherited from Old Hungarian ollo, ollow (“kid (of a goat)”), which is borrowed from Danube Bulgar *oɣloŭ, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *oɣul-aɣ (“young of an animal”). The modern sense of "scissors" is apparently because scissor blades swing like a goat's legs. Alternatively, from obsolete sense "rafter" (attested in 1669), in which case possibly inherited from Proto-Uralic *ulke (“pole, post”).
