What is the suffix for scissors?

Scissors don't have a suffix in the traditional sense. They are a singular noun that refers to a pair of blades.

Here's why:

* Plural form: The word "scissors" itself is already the plural form. There's no need to add a suffix to make it plural.

* No singular form: There is no singular form for "scissors," as it always refers to a pair. You would never say "scissor."

Example:

* Incorrect: I need a pair of scissorses.

* Correct: I need a pair of scissors.
