 Definition: 
\Scis"sors\, n. pl. [OE. sisoures, OF. cisoires (cf. F.
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}.]
{Scissors grinder} (Zo["o]l.), the European goatsucker.
   [Prov. Eng.]
 
Dream Dictionary
 
 Definition: Dreaming that you are using scissors indicates decisiveness and control in your waking life. Alternatively, it may suggests that you need to get rid of something in your life. It also represents your ability to cut things or people out of your life.
