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 cisel, chisel, from Vulgar Latin *cisellum < *caesellum, from Latin caesus, from caedō. Compare Occitan cisèl, Catalan cisell, Italian cesello, Portuguese cinzel, Spanish cincel.
köken: Inherited from Old Spanish tixera, tisera, from Latin (ferramenta) tōnsōria, from tōnsus. Compare Portuguese tesoura, Galician tesoiras, Asturian tixeres, tisories, Catalan tisores. The unexpected -i- in the Spanish, Asturian, and Catalan forms may perhaps be explained due to influence from synonymous but unrelated Old French cisoires, ciseaux

köken: Equivalent to Middle Korean ᄀᆞᇫ다〮 (Yale: kòz-tá, “to cut”) + 개 (Yale: -kay, inanimate agentive suffix), but the source verb is obsolete and the word is no longer perceivable as a compound by any speakers. First attested in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103, as Late Old Korean 割子蓋 (Yale: *kòsókáy). This form is preserved in the conservative Gyeongsang dialect form 가시개 (gasigae, “scissors”). In…

köken: From Proto-Finnic *lëik'at'ak, possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic *blaikijaną (see the Proto-Finnic entry for more details). Cognates include Estonian lõikama (“to cut”).
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”).
Inherited from Byzantine Greek ψαλίδι (psalídi), from Koine Greek ψαλίδιον (psalídion), a diminutive of Ancient Greek ψαλίς (psalís). Cognate with Mariupol Greek псалы́дъ (psalýð).
