IPA: /ˈʃeːrə/, [ˈʃeːʁə] Audio: De-Schere.ogg , De-Schere2.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German schære, from Old High German scāri, plural of scār, from Proto-West Germanic *skeran. The spelling with -e- (instead of Schäre) is East Central German, probably reinforced by the related verb scheren (“to shear”). Cognate with Dutch schaar, English shears.
