clippers
This term is used as a plurale tantum when referring to grooming tools, meaning it is almost always used in the plural form regardless of whether one or multiple tools are being discussed. Using the singular "clipper" in the context of nail or hair trimming is uncommon and typically refers to a specific component of the device rather than the tool itself.
In a maritime context, the word refers to a specific class of historical sailing vessels. While "clippers" is the plural form of "clipper," the term evokes a specific era of 19th-century trade and speed, distinguishing these ships from slower merchant vessels of the time.
