The singular form of "scissors" is simply "scissors". Interestingly, "scissors" is known as a plurale tantum—it's a word that's plural in form but is often used in a singular sense. This is because the item consists of two inseparable parts. Other examples of plurale tantum in English include "glasses" (for vision), "pants", and "binoculars". The English language is full of such quirks and exploring them is part of the fun in learning it!
