The Italian word scindere means to split/ slice and the word's past participle is scisso. From it I think we derive our usage altered to produce a plural word scissors. Interestingly, the Italians use the word forbici for scissors which is obviously derived from the forceps route. This may indicate that some common English words are derived directly from classical latin rather than the latin vulgate.
