To cut something with scissors, or to move legs in a crossing motion like opening and closing scissor blades.
From Old French 'cisoire,' from Latin 'cisoria' (cutting implements). The noun came first; the verb developed from the tool's action.
Scissors are one of humanity's oldest tools—the first metal scissors appeared in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE, yet the design is so perfect it barely changed.
