Words like "trousers", "scissors", "measles", "news", all indicate singularity.
I need to say this because I am aware that most of us are usually carried away by the 's' plural marker.
It is not as if "trousers", "scissors", "measles", "news", are plural and then their singular forms are now "trouser", "scissor", "measle", "new", respectively.
You start thinking that once a noun ends in letter 's', then it is plural.
That's not true, please!
NB:
When you have to pluralise trousers and scissors, it has to be through the use of what we call partitives.
e.g.
Two pairs of trousers
Three pairs of scissors
