"gunting" meaning in Tagalog

See gunting in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡunˈtiŋ/ [Standard-Tagalog], [ɡʊn̪ˈt̪iŋ] [Standard-Tagalog] Forms: guntíng [canonical], ᜄᜓᜈ᜔ᜆᜒᜅ᜔ [Baybayin]
Rhymes: -iŋ Etymology: Likely from Malay gunting, ultimately likely a loan from some non-Austronesian source, such as Chinese, according to Blust (2010–). Compare Bikol Central gunting, Cebuano gunting, Hiligaynon gunting, Laboya gutti, and Mansaka gonting, Tausug gunting, and Javanese ꦒꦸꦤ꧀ꦠꦶꦁ (gunting). Manuel (1948) also wondered about gunting if it is from Chinese or originally traces back to Proto-Austronesian, which Dr. Cecilio Lopez stoutly affirmed from Dempwolff's findings, although problems arose as the word is not found in the languages of the Igorot groups, which the only tenable conclusion was that gunting is not originally from Proto-Austronesian but instead from “Southeastern Chinese” (see Min Chinese languages, including Hokkien) which had a term for scissors from which most probably the original term was derived from.
