While "ciseaux" is a noun ending in -x, which usually indicates a feminine noun, the word "ciseaux" is an exception.
Here's why:
* "Ciseaux" is a pair of scissors, not a single scissor. In French, the concept of a pair of scissors is considered a singular entity, hence the plural form is used.
* Plural nouns ending in "-x" are usually masculine.
Therefore, you would say:
* "Des ciseaux" (masculine plural)
* "Le ciseau" (masculine singular - rarely used as it refers to a single scissor blade)
