• Go-on: きょう (kyō)^{←けふ (kefu, historical)}
• Kan-on: きょう (kyō)^{←けふ (kefu, historical)}
• Kun: はさみ (hasami, 鋏); はさむ (hasamu, 鋏む); やとこ (yatoko, 鋏); やっとこ (yattoko, 鋏)

鋏 (hasami): a pair of traditional Japanese shears or scissors.

鋏 (hasami): a pair of western-style scissors.

Originally the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of verb 鋏む (hasamu, “to be tightly between two things, to be inserted in between””),[1][2] itself apparently deriving from hasa (“narrowness between other things”, likely cognate with 細 hoso, “skinny, narrowness within the thing itself”) + auxiliary suffix む (mu, “to be or become like something”).

Cognate and homophonic with 挟, 挿 (​hasami): “being stuck in between other things”.

Probably originally an abbreviation of synonym yattokobasami,[1] with the yattoko portion possibly an alteration of 焼き床 (yakidoko, “the cooking bed of an oven, or the firing bed of a kiln”, possibly formerly read as yakitoko, literally “burning or cooking bed”), perhaps used as a dialect word referring to the forge; compare 火床 (hidoko, “hearth; a firepit, such as beneath a boiler”, literally “fire bed”).
