A friend of mine always says 'a scissors'. He maintains scissors are are a singular thing and we shouldn't pluralise just cause of the 's' at the end. He does this with pants, trousers and knickers too. A knickers, a trousers etc.

Why is it that the adjectives are singular too e.g sissorlike, knickerless? Anybody know?

"His life seemed to be falling into place, and his inner anger had long since been ________."

At first, I was thinking of words that would be used when you're saying a fire was put out, like doused or extinguised, but it didn't sound right. I'm looking for a word that would give the same feeling as the word "comforted".

It is easy to find the deifinition of "etiological" or "etiology", but I can't find the meaning for NON-etiological anywhere. Apparently it is not as simple as saying it is the opposite of etiological.
I am trying to understand it within the context of literature, not medicine/science. Can anyone help me? :)
